Training Journal – 8/5/12:

• Current plan: Half-marathon program – Recovery Week
• Today’s session: 10-mile run
• Comments: Decided to do something different this morning. I ran from the house, to Alum Rock Park, did the North & South Rim trail Loop, then back home. 11.6 miles @ 10:09 pace, 165′ to 1,191′ and back. BOOYAH!

…during today’s afternoon snack.  In a sensible way.

Training Journal – 8/3/12:

• Current plan: Half-marathon program – Recovery Week
• Today’s session: 4-5 mile easy run
• Comments: I did 6.65 miles @ 8:30. After four days off from running (though two of those days I biked), it felt good to hit the road again. Foot is still slightly tender…hmmmm.

View from our hotel room in San Francisco. The weather has been wonderful. This morning was the SF Marathon – I ran the First Half. Full race report tomorrow or Tuesday…

• Comments: Half Marathon #3 in the bag – time: 1:52:37. I’m bummed & happy – time coulda been better, but it was very crowded on bridge. Oh well, still under 2 hour mark!

Today, I sorta look like a character from a mid-80’s re-make of a 1970s French comedy film…
