day one-hundred-ninety-four

day one-hundred-ninety-four...

way back on day thirty-three i made my first run to the buffalo. it wasn't my complete intention to visit them again today, but it was so nice in the city and i felt good. so ran through golden gate park to see if the buffalo were out. they weren't. they never are. bastards. stopped my return run near the conservatory of flowers. felt like i had a rock in my left calf again. about six sold miles, walked about a mile, then ran the rest until just before home base. eight miles total. a few more weeks and a little more consistency and i'll be ready for bay-to-breakers.

weight: irrelevant, really
feeling... adding in crunches again would be a plus
