I had a great time, though, and got to see lots of people. Unfortunately, those people did not include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yarnagogo.com\">Rachael<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/rebeccafreed.typepad.com\/beccas_blog\/\">Becca<\/a>, though I did see Rachael&#8217;s flaming hair and had the opportunity to yell at her as I ran by. Yes, so running. The <a href=\"http:\/\/runsfm.com\/index2.htm\">race<\/a> was fine and relatively fun, if you consider running all squished with 15,000 people when it&#8217;s still dark out fun!<br \/>\nWhat were some other highlights? Well, take a look:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/sf coffee crunch cake.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"sf coffee crunch cake.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/sf coffee crunch cake-thumb.JPG\" width=\"220\" height=\"165\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/sf coffee crunch slice.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"sf coffee crunch slice.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/sf coffee crunch slice-thumb.JPG\" width=\"220\" height=\"165\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThat&#8217;s the coffee crunch cake from Yasukochi&#8217;s Sweet Stop Bakery in Japantown. We stumbled upon the bakery when we went in search of bentos. It was delicious!<br \/>\nAnd my first ever mani-pedi was delightful. Megan and I went to Lavande Nail Spa. I was pretty surprised by how busy the place was. I had no idea that nail stuff was so popular. I guess I need to get out more often. Here are my toes:<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/sf pedicure.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"sf pedicure.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/sf pedicure-thumb.JPG\" width=\"220\" height=\"165\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nI also got to meet up with Mrs. H and her gang. Here&#8217;s the gang minus Mrs. H, who wandered off to take a photo of a tall Russian ship:<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/sf harrises.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"sf harrises.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/sf harrises-thumb.JPG\" width=\"220\" height=\"165\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nThat&#8217;s Megan on the left! There is a rather famous person in this photo, but in order to protect her stellar reputation, I don&#8217;t think I should identify her (I don&#8217;t think her listeners know how silly she can be).<br \/>\nWhat else? Oh, I discovered a whole new world of Japanese books at Kinokuniya, but I will wait until tomorrow to share those.
