San Fransisco Nike Women's 1/2 Marathon Oct 2009


So excited to be here again. I never really found the time to train this year but anyone can do 13.1 miles right? I laugh that I am truly not a marathoner but I enjoy the actual run so much that I know I will do it again!

This year we invited our daughters that were old enough to run~Kylie, 14 yrs


My neice Tori, 15 yrs~They were so much fun! We are so happy we brought them!


Kylie's and my names on the Nike Town wall


Pointing to our names


We were way to short this year!

My neice Tori, Sister Sally and their friends Debrah and Pam at their hotel. They were feeling like big spenders, they got a hotel much closer to all the events than we did.


Dinner at China Town


My family that came Back L to R Cousin Teresa, Sally & Tori, Aunt Neoma, Front Me, Luana, Kylie and my mom (Blanche)

All of us at the Warf

Three generations of the Langston Family AKA Hot Running Chicks

My beautiful daughter and I

So Funny~but we had to see these toilets, they are Green toilets, you can push a button and they give you instructions, everything is fully automated and when you are done it seals itself and it fully washes and sanitizes before the next person. Great concept but even better if we could have figured out how to get the toilet paper to come out. Thank You Luana for carrying tissue in your purse!
Tori and Kylie

My sister Luana with her black eye, you can't see it very well here but she fell on ice a week before the trip and got a concussion and a big black eye. They told her not to do the marathon so she walked it.

With all these women we could not miss the Ghirardeli Chocolate Shop, everyone needs a little chocolate before they run a marathon!


Kara's Cupcakes~This was the cutest cupcake store and they were awesome!


Kylie's Cholcolate Vanilla

My chocolate Rasberry Dazzle.
