Two runs this weekend. Saturday morning Silas and I hit the Ohlone Greenway for an out-and-back to El Cerrito. No much to report from the run, except that out was in 32:03.56 and back was in 32:03.96. I blame the gradual uphill on the way back for the extra .4 seconds. Gmapped it as 8.1 miles in 1:04:07.

We headed out again this morning without an aim, but ended up heading north on Milvia (a street that is forver branded as Mulva in my mind) until it ended at Hopkins. We were close to the hills, but I took the easy way out and head down Hopkins, then to Gilman, and home via the Greenway. We took a detour past the BART station so Silas could check out the buses. As usual, the streets were pretty quiet in the morning. We got to see an area of North Berkeley that was new to us, and quite pretty with lots of old, overhanging trees. The plants out here are still very strange to me, and I am frequently struck by something that I've never seen before, like a huge Eucalyptus grove or strange trees covered with white flowers on the top and green leaves showing on the bottom. I'm no gardener, but folks out here seem quite inspired.

This morning was 5.9 miles in 48:23, giving me 50 miles for the week. This was my first 50 mile week since last November, a week that began with an unplanned 13 miler with a sleeping baby and culminated in a 10k PR.
