Six miles

This week was one of our recovery runs—a mere six miles! We ran a different route this time, up the Great Highway past the Cliff House (whew—quite a steep hill compared to the smaller inclines we're used to), up the trails past the ruins of the Sutro Baths, through Sutro Heights Park, and then on down the Great Highway to finish. We had some great ocean views through the trees along the trails, but it was a bit confusing to try to find the right direction, especially since our pace group leader didn't show and no one in our group attended the pre-run meeting to learn the route. But all in all, it was a good run.

I've been slacking off a bit on my midweek runs. I've been walking to a consulting job downtown, which takes about 50 minutes, and telling myself that's enough. But lately the long runs have been getting harder, and I decided I need to do some actual running during the week. So this morning, it was back to the Panhandle for 45 minutes of running and walking. I was surprised by how good it felt. Anything less than an hour seems quick and easy these days. I'm hoping it will make the upcoming 14 mile run go by a little easier.
