So, after adventures in LA, we were off for more adventures in San Francisco. Let's just point out now that San Francisco was a lovely 20-30 degrees cooler than LA. We really needed a break from the heat!
We went to San Francisco for the annual American Psychological Association (APA) Convention (it's the BIG one). Some of my research was accepted and I presented it in poster form there. So, we stayed on the 16th floor of the Hilton in downtown San Francisco (thank you for the funding, Rosemead!) and had a blast exploring downtown San Francisco. While I was in sessions, Shea got a chance to do some of what he likes best - reading quietly in cool places.
Picture #1: A good friend of mine was there and we go to go to some sessions together and our poster presentations ended up being the same hour on the same row of exhibits.
So, Shea & I run together a lot, but we've never been in a race together before. So, when I found out that there was a 5K "Running Psychologists" race/run by the Golden Gate Bridge , we couldn't wait to sign up!
Picture #2: My friend & I getting psyched up for the run. :)
Picture #3: The 4 Rosemead students that entered the race.
Picture #4: The beautiful city skyline that we got to run with at 7am.
Picture #5: Shea & I after the race. (Notice our sweet "Running Psychologists" shirts! :) )
Shea then had the brilliant idea of sightseeing for a bit while the majority of the city was still asleep, so we went exploring.
