My PB

Like Trevor, I achieved a personal best this weekend when I participated in the 94th annual Bay to Breakers race in San Francisco. If you look carefully…



I completed the 7.5 mile course in two hours and forty-five minutes, but my real PB was having done it at all. No, I didn’t run, not even a step, but then neither did most of the 65,000 people in the so-called race. I walked as fast as I could, given the crowds. The dreaded Hayes Street Hill is a piece of cake if you don’t have to run.

What possessed me to do it? Physical exercise is definitely not one of my favorite things. But it seemed like good practice for the upcoming Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, which I am planning to do on July 9th and 10th. (That course is about four times the length of the Bay to Breakers.) Check out my blog, walk the walk.

Next year I’m determined to shave seconds off my time.
