Yesterday morning I competed in the Bridge to Bridge 12K run in San Francisco. I’d run this race four times previously, though only once at this distance. I’ve run in many other races, from 5K to marathon length, sometimes competing as often as three times a month. But before yesterday, I had not raced in a year and a half.
