I'm going to be busy with Pride stuff all this weekend (including marching in the San Francisco Pride Parade with the AIDS Marathon contingent on Sunday!), so I did my long run on my own this morning. The group is up to six miles this week; I did about ten and a half—my usual loop to the ocean and back through Golden Gate Park. I felt a little tired today—probably from working out yesterday, so that I didn't have as much time to recuperate as I really needed—but still finished in my usual two and a half hours, or about 14:15 minutes per mile.
It was odd to see cars on JFK Drive—on Sundays, when I usually run, JFK Drive is closed to traffic, and the street is full of walkers and runners and skaters and bicyclists. It was almost like running in a different park.
I saw some kind of falcon or hawk sitting on the fence of the bison paddock as I ran by. I think it was a peregrine, if I remember my raptor birds correctly. I don't think I've ever seen one in the park before.
