Christine went for a short run, and then we met Our friends John and Stephanie for dinner at a delicious burger place in the Ferry building before tucking the girls in early-ish for bed.
Sunday dawned early, with Tim up at 4am to eat something before the race. Then back to bed until 6 (also when Cora woke up) then out the door for him to the race. Maya got up around 6:30, then the girls watched the start of the race from the 8th floor of the hotel. We saw lots of crazy costumes, more than half of which involved some kind of tutu. No non-costumes, though. After the racers departed, we got some breakfast, then headed out to conquer the Muni (success!) and met up with Tim and Justin at about the time they arrived back at Justin's apartment.
Race report: it was a success. Tim finished 88th overall, 84th among the men, and 21st in his age group. He ran just over 44 minutes (7.5 miles).
We went with Justin, his fiancée Yvonne, John, and Stephanie to a really cute brunch place. (As an aside at this point, both Stephanie and Yvonne, who we are basically meeting for the first time, are absolutely lovely. Or maybe I'm just biased by the fact that they took real time to engage Maya.)
After brunch, we strolled through a farmers market and then through the botanical gardens before striking out on our own for the playground in Golden Gate park. Maya made wet sand pies, while Cora belly-laughed on the swing. Both enjoyed a turn around the carousel before we headed back to clean up for dinner.
We walked up (seriously, straight UP) Sacramento to the Nob Hill Cafe, where we met John and Stephanie. After seeing the inside of the restaurant, Tim and I are pretty sure we had dinner here some (eight?) years ago. It was good. After a quick stop at a playground, we headed back to the hotel.
