Half-Marathon

Pictures from California

Suitcases

I was made fun of because I didn't have a suitcase that was deemed big enough. Mom hated my suitcase the entire weekend and I have a feeling that she will hate it her entire life.

AT&T Park

Katie and I outside AT&T Park the home of the San Francisco Giants. It was a very nice place to play baseball.

Palm Trees

Willie Mays

I play ball like him

McAfee Coliseum

Me standing outside the biggest dump I've ever seen in my life.

McAfee Coliseum

Doesn't look any nicer from the back.

Redwood

Big trees

Parson Jones

The biggest redwood in the forest. 310 feet! That's bigger than a football field.

Lifting a tree

There was a litter of kittens underneath this tree and I had to lift it to get them to safety. I'm a strong guy.

In-N-Out Burger

Great place to be.

Carly & Tom

Pasta Dinner Crowd

There were a lot of people at the Pasta Dinner. It was very nicely done.

Race Gear

Me trying on my race gear the night before the run.

I DID IT!

Me crossing the finish line to the half-marathon. I came a long way from being sick and I was very proud of myself.

Hugs

Me going to hug mom after I crossed the finish line.

Wine Glass

Me holding my wine glass that I was given after the run

Wine glass

Me with the wine glass again. This time it had wine in it. I hate wine, but I still needed to have a glass, just because I ran a race in wine country.

Nun

This nun ran the half-marathon in her habit. She was 60 something years old and was from the Vatican. Even with God on her side, I still beat her in the race.

Sonoma Town Hall

Team Challenge

Me sporting the team challenge logo

Pacific Ocean

I like the ocean
