This week was a recovery week, meaning we ran only five miles. Only five miles! From now on, we will increase our mileage every other week, and in between will do shorter recovery runs. Our route took us through Golden Gate Park by the bison paddock, past the duck pond, around Stowe Lake, and along some horse trails. Very scenic.
The marathon we will be running is the Honolulu Marathon, on December 9. Visit their website for a virtual tour of the race course! Over 25,000 people from all over the world ran in the 2000 Honolulu Marathon. The current men's course record of 2:11:43 is held by Ibrahim Hussein of Kenya, and the women's record of 2:28:33 is held by Lyubov Morgunova of Russia. No, I don't plan on setting any new records. I'll probably be just about hitting mile eight when the winner crosses the finish line....
