Rani and Alexis ran. Ingrid and I cheered them on.
The race began near the Wharf in Monterey, only a 10 minute walk from Rani's apartment. We arrived on Saturday evening, so we didn't even have to get up too early for the 7:05 start.
The weather was gorgeous: crisply cool and cloudless with very little wind. We learned that 7000 runners registered. There is no full marathon in this event; the two options are a half marathon (13.1 miles) and a 10 mile race.
What are these squiggly lines? Answer: Reflections of boat masts and flags in the almost calm water of a marina just east of the wharf. After resting for awhile, we spent the afternoon walking around Point Lobos a state preserve that is about a 30 minute drive south of Monterey. Along the way, Rani and Alexis found a nice napping tree!

I'm jealous that the girls got to run that. I wish I could run again. Looks like a fun weekend, too bad I wasn't there.
