the sfalf and other random mid-run thoughts...

one of my random thoughts today while finally doing my run in the hot hot sun was that the "San Francisco Half Marathon" is a mouthful. Even just saying the "San Francisco Half" makes me weary. when youre typing it, of course, its not so bad--you just write SF. but saying it sounds awks, no? so i was thinking we could combine it into one word--"the Sfalf!". maybe even drop the l and just write sfaff? the sfaffy? all comments welcome.

one of my other random thoughts while running is detailed in one of my comments to a different post. and that was that i am probs going to vomit at the sfaff. i feel like i tend to get kind of naus fairly easily. and of late, i have experienced some exercise-induced bad bodily reactions. ie almost passing out in yoga the other day due to intense heat and movement, ie projectile vomiting after completing my first 20-mile long run while training for the philly marathon. maybe i have a weak constitution? anywho, while closing out today's 3.5 i realized that vomiting while tackling the miles and miles in the rolling hills of SF is highly likely, and i have made peace with that fact. i hope you all will too.
