While starting to feel more tired and sore in the knees, Antonia sounded up and ready for more running and laps. She got a surprise during this last 3 hours, as she received a visit from friends dating back to her early childhood. Two mothers ("Mommy" Anne and "Mommy" Kathy) in the infant play ground Antonia and her mom, Sally, were in when Antonia was very young came by along with one of the kids from that playgroup that has been a life-long friend to Antonia, Paige. This was a total surprise and wonderful. Since this was at a time that Antonia was walking some laps to rest her legs and knees, Paige walked many laps with her as they visited. After Paige left, Antonia started running and continues to complete laps in the 24 hour event. In addition to the wonderful visit by close friends, the runners were witness to a spectacular meteor shower over the bay area for a long period of time. 6 more hours to go.

while antonia and i were walking, we saw at least four shooting stars scattered around different parts of the sky! imagine -- a clear night, the golden gate bridge reflecting against the bay, and then a quick burst of light. who'd've thought that you could ever see shooting stars in a san francisco night sky? between the typical cloudcover and the urban light pollution, it hardly seems possible.
