It was indeed a fun day and some "serious fun" hiking those hills. Yikes - that was a lot more than I bargained for. I shall endeavor to be better prepared next time. Loved the weather conditions we had and the park is really beautiful. Thanks for the introduction to the Oakland hills. Who knew? Looking forward to our next adventure! :-) Ha ha Julia – fabulously told! It was indeed a fun day and some “serious fun” hiking those hills. Yikes – that was a lot more than I bargained for.

Totally. We stayed at the Bear Flag Inn: http://www.bearflaginn.com/ They are completely awesome and also were the only place I called that didn't flinch about reserving only one night on a big weekend. Stacey has some better pictures for me to steal on her blog (http://rbr-runbabyrun.blogspot.com/), including the chickens at the Inn! The chickens whose eggs we were served for breakfast. Mmmm. About the weight loss plan though- yes, I ate alot but during the race my watch says I burned 3059 calories, but must have taken in no more than 800, so I had some room there. Whatever you want, i will rationalize it! :) Ha ha! Totally.

Excellent! What is the name of the place you stayed? Don't you love Napa - wine list at the burger joint. And they even put the word PROOF across your pictures so you won't have to try and convince people you were actually there :) Wow – sounds like no marathon weight loss plan here! Excellent!
