Wharf to Wharf




Juan and I walked the Wharf to Wharf today. It's a great race in Santa Cruz County every year that goes from the Santa Cruz Wharf to the Capitola Wharf (thus the name "Wharf to Wharf"). It's actually an incredible event because there are about 15,000 participants. It was cool and foggy and just great weather for doing an event like this. I got a few fun pictures, too.

We walked the Wharf to Wharf in 2005, but both Juan and I have improved our fitness significantly since that time, so this was a great experience for us. We walked about 16 minute miles, which is faster than we were walking when we did the Nike Women's 1/2 Marathon in 2005 and also is good because the rather small roads are super-crowded with so many people doing the event.

While we walked today, we talked about doing the Wharf to Wharf again next year...only next year, we'll be pushing a stroller!
