AM - 5 miles in Golden Gate Park.

PM - 4 miles w/ Andrea on the trails at Pillar Point Bluff, just north of Half Moon Bay.

Headed south today because the SF Marathon was happening and the race blocks off the northern side of the peninsula. Got a later start in hopes that the fog would clear a little (it did). Took a leisure stroll at Devil's Slide (where saw a bunch of Humpback whales) and had lunch on a little outcrop above Gray Whale Cove (no whales there).

AM - 6 miles on the Stroudwater trail in Portland, Maine. Took a redeye flight and had a little time to kill waiting for some other friends to arrive, so I was able to stash my bag and get out for an hour on a really nice trail next to the jetport.

Drove up to Boothbay Harbor and spent a beautiful evening out on a boat cruise. Around midnight Andrea finally rolled in from China!

Big race today - the Merkel Wedding Mile on Southport Island in Maine. After hitting snooze for an hour, I finally dragged myself out of bed about 8 minutes before the start (not exaggerating). We had about 30 runners line up to run the "mile" loop. Toni (wearing my teva sandals) took it out quick, but only made it a tenth of a mile before collapsing on the side of the road (the boat cruise was a fun night). It was down to Big Cat Brett and I after a quarter. I put some distance on him by halfway, knowing that I couldn't let it come down to a kick... his hair is longer than mine, a huge advantage over the last 100 meters. The watch buzzed as I came through the mile (5:43) but the finish was still far away (stupid surprise 2K races!). I was able to hold on for another minute and break the tape for my first win of the season!

I am slighty embarrassed to say this, but I was absolutely gassed by the end...  my lungs were burning for a good 15 minutes. Andrea and I ran another 4 miles after the race. We figured we should cool down since we completely missed warming up.

PM - 3 miles. Wanted to run the full 4.6 miles to the lighthouse and back, but my legs were wrecked from the morning.

The #LukeandAnneLongRun wedding was perfection.
