This race completed an incredible running year. I had to run this to receive a special medal that acknowledged the completion of a race series.
Earlier in the year, I decided to go for a race series medal with the California Half and Full Marathon Series. Even though I ended up running a total 0f 14 half marathons in 2016, not all of them were with the series. I received the 7 race medal!
It was wet, rainy, and had a huge multi mile hill that made it a little rough, but there was a nice park that we ran through at the end. My friend Missy live near Walnut Creek and her sister (and one of my running partners) Mindy, and I spent the night at her place. They got up early with me and saw me off, and Mindy was there when I finished. Happy to be finished and receive my series medal.
On to 2017!
