Shoot, what a nice series of runs I had in San Francisco
last week. I already wrote about a
number of them, but Friday morning’s run turned out to be the best of the
bunch: I headed even further along Crissy Field, the bay and sandy beach to my
right, all kind of interesting birds in the marsh to my left, the Golden Gate
Bridge straight ahead, and dogs out for their morning walks all around. Friday was the only foggy day I had all week
in San Francisco, but the cool mist made for a just perfect morning. I ran 11.6 – more than I planned to, but I
couldn’t help myself.
Then I read my book sitting by the Bay Bridge before it was time to leave.
Then I spent 5 hours on a plane. The worst.
I took Saturday as a rest day and enjoyed a leisurely stroll
around the Reservoir back in New York, and then last night, took Mike the Bike
on the Roosevelt Island Tram for an evening ride. With every ride, I get more comfortable, and
sooner, and Roosevelt Island was a great place for me to practice riding in
traffic without the pressure of actual terrifying Manhattan-type traffic. Basically, it was like riding my bike in the
suburbs when I was little. It was also a
good way to practice getting my bike through the subway turnstile. Turns out, I need a lot more practice at
that.
Number of Miles Run Last Week: 33. Though I only ran 4 days last week, I was
happy to have gotten 2 double digit runs in.
This is probably right about the maximum number of miles I’ll be looking
to run in the weeks before Boston training.
I want to start things off next month excited to train, and not burned
out already.
Number of Beers Consumed Last Week: 6.
Types of Beers Consumed Last Week: Calicraft’s Oaktown
Brown, Cigar City’s Maduro Brown (so syrupy!), Bell’s Best Brown (in case it
weren’t apparent, I really love Brown Ales in the fall), Bud Light, Stella,
Sierra Nevada.
