Sunday, 6.1 miles in :50
Wednesday, 3.5 miles in :29

Christine was taking an herbs class on Sunday, so Silas and I headed out around lunch time to meet her on her break. We hung out in the garden at the Berkeley Eco House for about 30 minutes, then continued on our way. One of us slept for the rest of the run.

I'm not even trying to get in a lot of miles this week, since I have a race on Sunday, but I've just been having a lot of trouble getting out of bed. Any run either needs to end before Silas gets up, which means leaving by 6, or start about 30 minutes after he gets up, which means these days leaving as late as 7:30. I slept through my alarm this morning, but instead of bagging the run again I just decided to take Si out for a short spin on the Loop That Shall Remain Nameless. A pleasant run, in perfect marathon weather (overcast with a slight chill). For some reason, Berkeley didn't smell very good this morning. Maybe because it was garbage day on all the streets we hit. I've noticed that my right ankle feels a bit sore for a mile or so at the beginning of all my runs recently, but the pain dissipates after that.
