on saturday, we celebrated our Season 3 kick off for the Concrete Runners. as most of you already know, just just started off as a bunch of friends that started doing marathons/half marathons together, somewhat jokingly calling ourselves Running Divas. we eventually evolved into Concrete Runners and are now on Season 3! looking back at the evolution is so amazing and exciting. i can't wait to see what's next.
i got there quite early with the rest of the OGs and set up crew, around 7am. we set up the tables and organized ourselves for the event. people steadily rolled in starting at about 730/45ish am. we had people register as they came and we started off our event at about 830am. we had our kick off speech by Janice (my sister) and Clarice from Muscle Milk said a few words too. Abel lead our stretches and we were off for our run. as always we trailed off in pace groups so people could be with others that ran roughly around their pace.
our run was a 6 mile loop that included a run across the beautiful golden gate bridge. it was a little cold but nothing unbearable, especially once we warmed up from our run. the clouds were minimal so the sights were clear and gorgeous.
we had about 127+ people check in -- plenty of food, chit-chat and laughter filled the park. i got to see folks from all 3 seasons, meet some of the new crew, and welcome those that aren't officially Concrete ...yet! i'd say it was a pretty good event. thank you to everyone that came out to support the event. and special shout out to all our sponsors Perfect Bar, Icelandic, and Frozen Kuhsterd. i can't wait to for another event with Season 3.
