Throwback Thursday: Diva Run

The first ever official race I've registered for is the Divas Half Marathon & 5K in San Francisco. The thought of tiaras, feather boas, bejeweled medals and hunky fire men?!? So enticing! C'mon! I'm only human. Even a non-runner, nonbeliever like me would be weakened and give in.

I started with my C25K training the day after I signed. My excitement built up when my friends decided to coordinate our running getup.

And even more so when I went to the Health and Fitness Expo for packet pickup.

 



 The morning of the race, I met up with my friends.

Punk Princesses!!!

Girl power was so much evident. It had such a positive diva spirit around.

You could feel the electricity in the air.

The course is gorgeous and well-marked.

Surrounded by blue tutus!

Had to stop and take a picture of this glorious view.

The end is the best...

Finish Line!

I did it!

Having your medal placed around your neck by a ripped, topless firefighter - the best! *swoon*

I would have to say that the Diva Run is where I caught the running bug.
