Catchup

Monday am, 4.9 miles in 40 minutes
Friday pm, Marin #6: 7.4 miles in 1:05.
Saturday pm, 10.8 miles in 1:19(?)

Judging by the log, I've only had three runs so far this week, but I thought I went on Tuesday also. Oh well, the log doesn't lie. Silas and I did Marin #6 on Friday, to Craigmont Ave. It was hard, and slow.

I wanted to get in a long (ie, >1:45) run this morning but didn't get around to it. Instead, this afternoon during Si's nap I headed out for an 80 minute run. I wanted to get about 10 miles and figured I'd just run around until the time was up or my legs were beat. I started with a fast pace down to the Bay and headed up to Gilman. There was a timing malfunction on the Bay Trail when I stopped to tie my shoe and forgot to restart my watch for a few minutes. I continued on a new route, for me, up San Pablo into El Cerrito. By the time I got into Berkeley, I decided to run past the Cheese Board collective so I could figure out how far it would be to walk there for dinner (about 1 3/4 miles). I had dropped the pace a bit while running up Cedar, and by the time I ran around to home my legs definitely were beat. My watch read 1:15, but I'm guessing it was more like 1:18-1:19. That makes for a 7:19 pace for the run, which is feeling pretty good in my legs right now. After my shower, I walked back to the Cheese Board with my mom and carrying Silas, and the pizza was awesome. We took the bus home.

I now have 999 miles for the year. It hit that point on June 30 last year, but I'd never hit it before that, so there it is.
