60 minutes on the elliptical, 20 minutes of weights in the Hotel gym.  I'm going to have to try and run tomorrow, I can't workout in that stuffy, hot hotel gym all week.

How bout them Pat's...

The weather man says its going to be raining here the rest of the week and I just couldn't not run in my favorite place to run,  So I did.  I strapped on my leg brace as tight as I could get it, took 800mg of iburophen and off I went.  Down Market street to Embarcadaro, out past Pier 39, Fishermans Warf and up to the top of Fort Mason Hill so I could enjoy the view of the GoldenGate Bridg.  Stopped for about 5 minutes just to take it in, it was a beautiful morning, clear skys, no fog and a very nice temperature for running.   Very happy I went, my legs took about 1/2 a mile just to remember how to run, and I'm going to be very sore just from not using those muscles for so long but it was worth it.

It's funny how relative running speed is, I've run past a number of people in the past at around 6:30 pace and they look at me and say "I wish I could run fast"  Well today, coming back I was limping along at around at 8:30 pace and passed a guy, he looked over at me and said "boy, I wish I ran that fast"

No rain this morning, but still I didn't want to tempt fate and run 2 days in a row on my leg.   Plus I had to start work early today so 60 minutes on the elliptical, 20 minutes of weights.  Followed by the worlds yummiest apple fritter.

Same route as Monday out to Fort Mason hill and back.  Everything loosened up quite nicely this morning and I actually felt pretty good.  My legs are going to take some time to get back but definitely some progress and I don't feel like such a sludge after getting a run in.

7 miles in 56:42 8:06 avg pace.  Followed by 30 minutes of weights and core.

Googlers (That's what Google employees call themselves) are in really good shape, the gym was full and everyone on the treadmills were going at a pretty good clip.  I'd work for Google if it didn't mean moving to California.  They actually offered me a Job in Zurich once (my dream place to live)  but I couldn't convince the wife to go :(

Plan A, get an early flight out of here (failed, Sold out)

Plan B, go for a nice run to the Golden Gate bridge (failed, it's raining hard and I've become a panzy)

Plan C, Workout in the gym and take my normal flight (failed, my normal flight was cancelled due to it raining hard)

Alternate plan D, 60 minutes on the elliptical, 30 minutes of weights and hopefully get out of here sometime today.  (1/2 complete, still up in the air if I can get on a non-cancelled flight)

Help!  I'm trapped in San Francisco, someone rescue me!!!
