Finished January with 260 ish miles. I have had a couple of months in the 240 range in 2023, but this was my biggest month since July of 2021. I am not professing that this means something huge - like I am suddenly fit again or re-committed to running in a way that is particularly grand, but I do recognize the accomplishment as a stepping stone.
I started the week in SFO (M-W). I got out Monday night with LF and we ran around the Bay. I got 7 miles. I had eaten entirely too much Mexican at lunch and thought that was going to be a problem (yes, that kind of problem) but I managed. LF is simply fitter and faster than me and I was dragged into a 7:30ish paced run. I realized how I need to simply do more of this stuff and stop making excuses into the 8:30 runs.
I got out Tuesday AM for a gorgeous sunrise run to Coyote Point. Wow. 5.2.
Tuesday afternoon - joined LF for the afternoon run club at the company I was working with. 5.3 miles.
Wednesday AM - got out for an easy 6.3 out to Seal Point on a very windy AM. Traveled back home in the afternoon.
Thursday AM - back with the Broomstock crew. 8.2. Syd was in town!
