Did a lot better than I thought. There was a lot of people, there was definitely a lot of dodging and avoiding crashing into other runners. The Hayes Hill wasn’t too bad either, not as bad as I imagined. It was pretty fun, but not sure if I’d wanna do it again.
It turned out that my Zone division didn’t matter much because they let anyone into the different zones. I snuck into the upper middle part… hehe. If I do, do it next year, I’ll have to bring my ID so that I can enjoy some beer afterwards!
As for schwag, it was okay. Got some cheese samples, won lip balm, a mini keychain flashlight, and a biker’s water bottle — not bad at all! At the packet pickup, I got a few 20% off coupons at Sports Basement too! It’s a very good time to pick up some new gear! Woo~

Bay to Breakers
May 14th, 2008
Just registered for Bay to Breakers! I signed up too late and am in Zone 2 (the back of the pack), but am not discouraged! I’m going to try to go to the race super early and line up in the front. I hope to finish in 1:05:00 which is a 8:43 pace. It’s not super fast, but it’s a challenge because it’s a big race and there will be a lot of people to pass. Plus, my coworker said you won’t be able to run race pace until after the big hill…

New iMac
May 13th, 2008
(eep, need to take a better picture!)
I finally got a new computer last week! It’s pretty sweet!
A new 24″ iMac:
- 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
- 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
- NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS w/512MB GDDR3
- 500GB Serial ATA Drive
I like it a lot. I even hooked up my old Dell 20″ LCD for dual screens! And installed VMware Fusion with Windows XP for easy website QA.
It’s pretty much set up now, but I still need to format one of my WD My Book 500GB external hard drives for Time Machine and set up my color laser printer for network printing! Speaking of which, I need a new black toner cartridge! :/

First 5k
May 6th, 2008
I’m pretty happy about my time, but think I could had done better if I had coffee prior to the race. It was still good nonetheless. I remembered for my first mile I was at 7:00 flat. Maybe I went out too fast? Not sure, but 30 out of 305 is pretty darn good IMHO.
