With the underdog, hometown, Giant’s defeating the Phillies yesterday afternoon; the city has a major case of baseball fever. As a result, I needed and went out for a morning run down to AT&T Ballpark where I checked out the venue as I jogged around it. What a neat ballpark (looks as cool in real life as on television) and the ability to see the field (at field level) through Triples Alley was unique to any ballpark that I have been to. The excitement must be contagious because I knocked out a 6:35 mile while running back up The Embarcadero to Pier 23. There are so many morning runners on The Embarcadero, thus it’s hard not to pick up the pace. I then finished my run by pacing a Trolley car up California to Stockton (a really steep hill, but at sea level ascending it does not feel that bad). The total distance of this run was 6/2 miles and with the exception of that one mile on The Embarcadero, it was at an easy pace.
For my non-running workout, I completed my typical routine of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
