Easy run at sea level.
6:18 am, 39° F, 82% humidity, winds calm.
Today's Foster City run didn't go as well as yesterdays. First of all, I got started later, but that doesn't really matter because I don't have an early meeting today. The real problem occurred about a mile into the run. I was looking at a street sign on a corner where I turn because I always have trouble remembering the name of that street (I think it's Beach Front Drive or something like that). I failed to notice an uneven spot in the sidewalk, caught my toe on it, and went down. I hit my right knee and my hands. My hands are fine. My knee is a little scraped up and is hurting a bit. I got back up and was standing there assessing the damage, and a lady in a car pulled up and asked if I was alright. So she made up for the unfriendly runners that I encounter around here. I told her that I was okay and continued on with my run.
Speaking of unfriendly runners, probably more than half ignored me this morning, but the friendliest of them was an older Asian man who was waving his arms in circles while he ran.
I ran slower than I did yesterday and I stopped a few times on the trail and tried to take pictures with my phone. If I can manage to get them off my phone I'll try to post one if there's a decent one. Also, my husband called me during the run and I stopped to him. So basically, the run was slow and full of stops and starts.
OK. I managed to get a picture off my phone. It's not a great picture. It just kind of shows the trail on the edge of the bay which constitutes about half of the 5 mile loop that I run when I'm here.

| Easy run at sea level. 6:39 am, 46° F, 82% humidity, winds calm. This was my last run in Foster City for the time being. I head back to Denver tonight. I've got out to run a little later each day that I've been here. Maybe it's my body adjusting from Mountain Time to Pacific Time. Going back to Mountain Time and trying to get up early in the morning is going to be a little tough. I saw a herd of cats on the trail this morning. Right at the point that I leave the trail and start heading back towards the hotel, there were 6 cats sitting on the trail. It was very strange. AP: 9:24. Splits: 10:05, 9:31, 9:14, 9:13, 9:00, 0.10 @ 9:00.

| Kind of a progression run. 6:11 am, 30° F, 41% humidity, wind 4 S. I almost didn't make it out this morning because my alarm was set incorrectly. But thanks to my husband driving to seminary, I managed to go out and run a bit. I got so busy at work yesterday afternoon that I forgot to go home and take my daughter to piano lessons. I've got to try to reschedule the lesson for today. AP: 9:18. Splits: 9:56, 9:26, 8:55, 8:56.

| Easy run. 6:04 am, 24° F, 58% humidity, wind 3 SSE.. Well, after 17 days of not running, I finally got my sorry self out the door this morning. It helped that Lindsay wanted to run with me today. I wonder if I can get her to run with me again on Wednesday. I think I'll see if I can manage to run 3 times this week. AP: 10:12.Splits: 9:56, 9:49, 10:01, 10:08, 0.64 @ 10:22.

| Easy run. 5:48 am, 41° F, 27% humidity, wind 9 SSW. I was supposed to meet Lindsay this morning. We don't normally run together on Wednesdays, but I called her last night and talked her into it so that I would be motivated to get out the door this morning. I got to her house at 6:00 as planned and waited five minutes and knocked on the door three times, then I left and ran by myself. This is the first time Lindsay has failed to appear for a planned run. I don't mind running by myself, so mission accomplished. The planned meeting got me out the door. AP: 9:52. Splits: 10:09, 9:43, 9:51, 9:43, 9:51.
