Before noon run. Amazing day in San Francisco! 54F sunny and totally clear. I ran to the water front and then continued south near all the piers till I reached Marina drive from which I had an amzing view of the golden bridge. So Beautiful. Then I ran back. It was totally crowded and there were many parts where I had to weave my way between the people walking.

Did a similar run to yesterday but today San Francisco was cold 46F and cloudy and foggy and there was a drizzle. BUT I enjoyed my run a lot. It was much less crowded and I had a chance to see the golden gate bridge and also Alkatraz (I sort of missed it yesterday).

I have a red-eye flight to the east coast tonight, I am not looking forward to it. I hope I'll be able to run tomorrow.

3:30PM 45F light drizzle. I came last night from SF on the red-eye flight to NY and then a morning flight to NC. For years I used to not be able to sleep on the plane but I guess getting older has some benefits too. I fell asleep before take off awoke up when the pilot turned on the lights in the main cabin. I had a window seat so i could see NYC in the sunrise. Beautiful.

So being not that tired I went for a 6.4 miles did a good pace of 7:53 which felt quite good. Tomorrow i am teaching but afte that I will be heading to the tracks for 5mile tempo.

Speed work on my regular route. Went for about half a mile easy and then did a stretch of about 5 miles speed. and finished easy. The speed part was in about 7:20 pace which is a bit slower than what I would have liked it to be. In my defence I should say that the route is not as flat as the tracks are and that there was quite strong wind at times.

3:30 PM west coast time, 40F very windy. I am in Vancouver Canada. It's sunny but very windy and I went to a nice medium run in from my hotel to Stenley park. I didn't do all the water front loop but did big part of it. Beautiful. It was all clear and the mountains look amazing. One of the most amazing runs I had. The pace was slow but I was facing crazy winds.
