Got in about 10 1/2 with Kim and then a few more miles solo and a couple with Pat, Hal, Kevin and Chad. Nice to be back and running around the roads of SF. The urban-Disneyland-traffic-light-fartlek runs were OK for a few days but I'll take the rural roads of Utah any day, even with our pesky SF canyon winds. I was very pleased that my legs weren't feeling quite as dead today as the last couple of days. Hopefully after a day of rest they'll be a little happier come Monday. Miles mostly in the 8-10 range.
