in the bay area for the week. took a long walk on saturday, went to the beach yesterday and swam in the pacific for the first time ever, at least in the US. it is bracing. i'm used to that gulf stream water.

today

- run 1:00:47, 11.74 km
my buddy accompanied on a bike. nice run, 5:11 average pace is right in the sweet spot. kicked a little bit in the last ~3/4 km, at sub-20 pace (3:50-3:55).

- stretch

cold weather and low vaccination population coverage will give us one last bad winter.

 

morning

- tennis x 40 mins
much sharper than last time

i woke up this morning with this song in my head and it is making me weirdly emotional. no idea where it came from, obviously i've heard the song a million times, it's just one of those songs. but i never felt any kind of way about it, certainly never voluntarily listened to it, and suddenly this morning it's giving me chills. when i went to find it, i discovered that the version i know best is from the "cars" soundtrack. lol. what a great freaking song.

- run 1:30:00 plus walk/run 11:07, 16.78 km
T+DI 160, highest in a long time. felt it. kept pace very relaxed but probably shouldn't have gone so far today, had to stop and walk at the 90-min mark.

- stretch

- run 1:27:34, 16.22 km
turned around at 40 mins, loop a little longer on the back half than the first but i also relaxed/slowed down a little after hte turnaround. kept pace nice and easy. longest run in a while. beautiful afternoon.
