day two-hundred-twenty-nine

day two-hundred-twenty-nine...

ran bay to breakers. after arriving downtown before 7:30am to meet some friends, we stood in line until almost 8:30am for the restroom. had to run past, around, and through the crazy costumed hoards of partiers when we finally hit the trail. felt more like an nfl running back stopping, starting, and cutting through closing gaps in the crowd. wasn't until the hayes hill down slope that it finally opened up. after running past noah and melissa will a high five it was onto golden gat park where i made great time. the downhill turn helped as i burned past and around many joggers before hitting the clearing and sprinting to the finish line. final time was 1:05:11. shave at least 5 minutes off that time for the difficulty starting the first few miles.

here's how b2b's website describes "agecrade"
100% = Approximate World-Record Level
Over 90% = World Class
Over 80% = National Class
Over 70% = Regional Class
Over 60% = Local Class

so i'm not even "local class." i never said i had class. i'm happy with 12k (7.48 miles) in 1:05. and after waiting for a few minutes at the end of the race not finding my friends, i started the upward sloping walk back to the panhandle. but it was taking too long so after 6 blocks i ran. 3 miles later i was back past gold gate park, still feeling strong, and ready to snap a lot of ridiculous photos.

that's 10.5 miles of running today. with all the additional walking i did my feet are dead. legs dead. but i'm pleased.

weight: super
feeling... happy

hit the work weights:

then ran the lake:
so warm out. decided i might run lake merritt... twice. set my ipod and started out fast. maybe too fast. was afraid i'd burn myself out. began with saul williams "list of demands reparations." then the bird and the bee "polite dance step" and m83 "kim and jessie." these are three of my happy songs at the moment. my main distraction was the sf chronicle's tvtm tim goodman podcast #53. and i felt good finishing a lap around the lake. so good that i thought i'd run one more mile then turn around. at one mile i kept going to the lake's half-way point. only made sense to complete lap two. finished the run listening to "pds" (again), "kaj" (again), and "lodr" (again). to-and-from homebase, plus two laps around the lake is more than 7 miles. damn. two laps around lake merritt is a personal first

weight: light enough to haul my ass around lake merritt twice
feeling... as if my legs are falling off
