Finally, photos!

On Saturday morning, Maggie and I made dragon heads for the dragon parade at the FCC - N. Calif. Between Two New Years party. I gave Maggie a bunch of scrap foam sticker material, and cut little triangles for her. She decided to use them to make eyelashes on the purple dragon! Very creative.



Here are some photos from the party:

And here are some photos from the race on Sunday:


Crossing the bridge at sunrise.



In Golden Gate Park at about mile 6. I was feeling pretty good. Loved the shade and plenty of room on the road.



Along the Great Highway at about mile 11. I'm smiling in the photo because Baba and Maggie were cheering me on, but I was struggling at this point in the race. It was sunny, a little too warm, and much of the 4-5 mile segment along the Great Highway was crowded. (I'm sure if I could have run faster it wouldn't have been so crowded!)



Crossing the finish line.



After the race.



Finally (after realizing that Craig was waiting for us at a different Mel's location!) eating lunch with Uncle Craig.



The picture Maggie colored for Craig's birthday earlier in the week.



Kiefer and Sphinx snuggling on the couch.

Maggie was a dear and actually stayed quiet during quiet time so I could take a nap on Sunday afternoon. I was very thankful!
