clock … watching time, the only true currency

This neglected blog (damn you, Twitter!) reached its sixth birthday today. This is the 1,435th post, but the pace has definitely slowed.
I’m glad to say that my birthday mile has not. Yet.
5:22 for the 4 loops (1:20 / 1:22 / 1:21 / 1:18) around Kezar is a second faster than 2008 and 2007.

Clock (this blog) is now 5, and I’m (cough) older than that. Still, I matched last year’s mile time of 5:23 (1:19/1:20/1:22/1:21 splits), which brightened the already-beautiful day a bit more.

Another almost-rainy run, this time downhill to work, with alternating fast/slow blocks as I ran down Market Street. 23:00.
This weekend, I’m going to take a closer look at We Endure as a training log.

Gentle 25:00 run home from work, beating the real rain.

I don’t know if the rest of the country celebrates the arrival of Super Bowl Sunday with a running race. But San Francisco does, with the half-marathon and 5K race in Golden Gate Park. Once again yesterday, I chose the shorter distance. Actually, I never even considered going 13.1 miles. Age brings wisdom?
The 5K course [...]

47 minutes at a leisurely pace in Golden Gate Park on a clear, crisp morning with Carla. Great way to loosen up for tomorrow morning’s 5K.
