AM - Long/progression run on Ocean Beach bike path to Ocean Beach Pier and home. Most miles at 8-8:15 with last 2 moderate at 7:30.

PM - tennis!! Haven't played in almost a year. Not too bad a showing. Forehand was like I never stopped playing. Backhand . . . a little rusty.

Another Chamber of Commerce day in San Diego. And the spring breakers have gone home!!! So I had Balboa Park pretty much to myself this afternoon when I snuck out of the office at 3:15 for a run. Thursday is typcially my threshold workout day, but with this cold that I have, I thought best to skip it. It's just a head cold but I don't want it turning into something worse because I have the La Jolla Half Marathon on Sunday.

Cloudy and a bit windy this morning but pleasant temperature (60) and humidity (55%), as always. Ran from home, and my route took me by the historic mansions of Old Town and Mission Hills. Suddenly, all the flowers are blooming around the neighborhood. My favorite is the Jacarunda tree. The entire tree is covered in purple blooms that smell so good! These trees are the "official" tree of San Diego and are planted throughout the city.

Legs felt super heavy today - like I was wearing ankle weights. Still not quite over the cold that I came down with on Monday. Will probably take a rest day, or possibly a very easy run, tomorrow because I'm running the La Jolla Half Marathon on Sunday.

Windy at the coast today >20MPH! So I took my run inland to try to avoid the wind. I checked out Lake Murray - about 10 miles from the coast. It was still windy, and I even got to run in the rain for about 5 minutes! That never happens here! Lake Murray is a water reservoir / recration area. There is a wide paved path on the north shore of the lake, with great views of Cowles Mountain. Lots of kids on the path today, which was awesome to see. One little guy was running with his friends who were biking - and keeping up! I told him good job - I think I scared him. 

Tried to keep it slower today because I'm racing tomorrow. But went faster than intended, most miles were 8:00. No more ankle weights!
