I was "training" to attempt my second San Francisco Marathon in July by doing this half marathon. Doing this half marathon was no problem, but my training was so poor and haphazard that I ended up with a knee injury running the marathon that I never fully recovered from. It was effectively the end of my running. I think I tried running a 10K after this and was dismayed that my knee wasn't getting better, since in the past it had always recovered.
Audrey was in town, staying with her brothers in Palo Alto. When I told her about the race, she said she wanted to come along to spend time with me, even though I'd be out running for over two hours.
