San Jose Half Marathon

Rose early from sleep

Drove in darkness to San Jose

for half marathon 

Up until last night I was undecided about running the San Jose Rock and Roll Half Marathon. I have two more in the next week that do not require a drive to the South Bay.

But I got myself ready the night before (this is great advice that I got from reading a book about running)

I like driving on 280 on Sunday as it is the rare time that I can use my cruise control. 

I signed up for the San Jose Half last year and had no concept of time so I placed myself in the last corral but I moved myself up to the proper group and for the most part I passed people. 

San Jose does not make for an interesting view but I did see a White Standard Poodle in the middle of the race. I think it was a time traveling Noel who was checking up on me. That was my only stop. 

After the race I walked into Britannia Arms with a whole mess of wet money. They never got around to serving me so I limped back to the Marcusmobile. 

Which in the scheme of things, was probably for the best. I thought of writing a nasty review on Yelp but thought that I would be a jerkface and honestly not gain anything out of the transaction. 

I met a woman on the way to the cars who is running 1) The Nike Women's Half 2) The US Half and 3) The Las Vegas Half. She also runs around the Lake. I thought she might have been a very talented Marcus fan/stalker but she did mention a boyfriend character.

After a nappy poo I made my way to the City for kickball because well I am mental. Luckily the other team forfeited and they were playing laugh olympics

I got up once and was one for one but it was a meaningless game.
