At the finish line this nice San Francisco Fireman was holding a silver platter loaded with Tiffany boxes. Since this was a women's marathon, no clunky heavy medals on a fat ribbon here! Every finisher got a pretty Tiffany's necklace handed by a cute fireman suited up in black tie complemented by Nike sneakers of course! And your pick! Honestly my brain was too shot from all the running especially the blurry last 10 miles to pick who I thought would be the cutest fireman, but looking back I don't think it was a bad choice! ;) Anyways more embarrassing moments to come in detail later! ;)
