Perfect weather here in SF for a run – about 60 degrees, overcast, breezy. Did around 10 miles at a pretty good clip, but I didn’t pace myself today. I love that the city is so compact – today my run took me through the Castro (near where I live), Lower Haight, Panhandle, Golden Gate Park, The Richmond, and back around to my home in Noe Valley. The one thing that’s difficult is it’s hard to completely avoid hills (I train on hills during the week but want to practice on relatively flat since Chicago is a pancake.) I’m at the top of a crazy-steep hill (35% grade) so there’s really no recourse if I want to leave my house.
These longer runs really do wonders to exorcise demons, too. I feel very Zen. And I am SO happy Sundays are complete rest days – now I can look forward to the rest of the weekend. (If you want to see my training plan, check it out here.
Off to look at houses (we’re thinking of buying a condo in SF or a house in Berkeley – so East Bay for us today), then a Giants game, and in between, a stop at Sports Basement. Tommorow? The couch is in my forecast.
Have a fabulous weekend!
xoxo, Heather
