My mom, grandma and I took a weekend road trip up to San Francisco to race in the Nike Women’s Marathon for Leukemia! It was such an amazing experience and I am determined to go back every year.. and next time I am going to actually TRAIN! I have been SOO sore the last two days… so embarrassing! I’m supposed to be young and in shape : )

The BEST part of the race… in my opinion… was at the end of the race my mom and I crossed the finish line together holding hands and were immediately greeted by HOT firefighters in tuxedo’s holding huge silver platters with hundreds of little blue Tiffany’s boxes for us!!! The Tiffany’s necklace we got was so cute! It is silver (of course) with a woman running on the front with “Run Like A Girl” which was the marathon’s slogan AND on the back it says “SF NWM 2009″. I had such an amazing time and doing it with my mom was so special!
