Back in the saddle

Went run­ning again today for the first time in eleven days. 4.4 miles with some hills, in 43:46. The last time I ran Fish­er­mans Wharf-to-Fort Mason-to-Mari­na Green I hurt my foot and end­ed the run angry, dis­cour­aged, and in pain at 51:35. A few days lat­er I got back out there and gave up after two miles because of the pain in my foot. A week ago I came to the office ear­ly to run but decid­ed I real­ly was­n’t feel­ing well, and this is my first run back from being sick.

It feels great, but I’m remind­ed of a cou­ple impor­tant items.

Run­ning may be good for peo­ple who eat taquitos from 7 – 11, but eat­ing taquitos is not good for running.

Sun­block exists for a reason.

Time to hit the showers!
