No run today. Didn't set my alarm and slept until 10. Haven't slept that late since the 12th grade. Took it as a sign to take it easy today. So did just a little core and upper body at the gym.

AM - Easy (medium?) run on Ocean Beach Bike Path (7:30 av) - which I noticed today has been renamed the San Diego River Path. "River" is a bit of an overstatement in these three year drought conditions. It would be more accurately to name it "the Interstate 8 Shoulder Path." Or "The Path Where Litter Accumulates." It is not scenic, but it's fairly flat, always empty, and an uninterrupted stretch of about 5 miles in each direction.

PM - Power Yoga

SD track club workout in Balboa Park. People were still talking about how "hot" it was at the SD RnR - in high 60s with 85% humidity. I don't know...maybe I'll addd weather to my list of reasons why I didn't run 1:30. ;)

Workout was 3 x 1200 at half marathon pace minus 30 seconds (aka 10K pace for me) plus 8 strides. The 1200s were in a big loop in the grass again. 1200s were at 6:23 pace according to my watch. 4:51, 4:49, 4:50. The coach said strides will take "seconds to a minute off your race, depending on the distance."

AM - Easy run on embarcadero (8:00s). Ran by the Tony Gwynn sculpure at Petco Park. Fans have been paying tribute by leaving flowers and memorbelia. Don't have enough history here to understand exactly what Mr. Padre means to San Diego. But he was very well liked.

Leg/plyo/weights workout at the gym with Brandon. Beginning a series of heavier weight training for next 3 or 4 weeks. Felt more grumpy than normal this morning (not a morning person, as much as I'd like to be). I'm not going to attribute it to over running or over training yet. Think it's from unpleasant tasks at work and a looming trip to NYC next week. Going to take it easy for a few days though.

Long run after work on Ocean Beach bike path to the Mission Bay jetty which has trail on it.
Then took the hilly route home. The AFC Half finishes with a long hill, sigh, so hill training is very important this summer!

AM - 6 miles with SD track club in Balboa Park, hilly route.

Noon - got certified to climb / belay on the rock climbing wall at the gym. Did NOT like climbing. Unlikely to use this certification again!

PM - 3 miles commuting to the tire store to pick up car.
