I went running this morning for the first time since… ugh, I don’t know when. I wanted to give myself and my knees a good rest before starting my training again this year for the events that I hope to run.
The Davis Stampede.
The Shamrock’n Half Marathon.
and the SF Half Marathon.
I told myself that today would be an easy day, so I picked a short course over to Alta Plaza Park. Total distance was just over two miles. It was a good workout, challenging enough due to the elevation change to the park, which is about 100 feet above (roughly 4% grade) our house.
The park has fantastic views at the top. I found this image on the web…
This photo is a view from the park looking southwest, toward our neighborhood.
Anyway, the Davis Stampede is a month from now and I am just not confident enough yet in my ability to run another half-marathon. I have not yet registered, but may look to do the 5K or 10K instead. That seems more reasonable and gives me less opportunity to disappoint myself.
