I haven't been training very well for the half marathon next Sunday, so I made sure to get a long-ish run in today--just about 9 miles. Driving home from Glen Park is one long, windy hill with a green ravine to one side; I often make the mental note to run this, especially when I see someone else gamely heading up to Portola.
What a hill! It didn't actually feel that bad of a climb, but it was long. The way down felt long, and difficult to maintain good forward toe-strike form. It was so pretty though, seeing all of the tiny flowers popping up after the rains we've had, in such a green background.
I ran down O'Shaughnessy to the first traffic light, back up, then down Laguna Honda again to Clarendon. Yesterday I did the Twin Peaks loop to Clarendon and back home, and didn't stop on Clarendon at all; today I walked about 10 yards, twice.
Here's the loop. Definitely one I'd run again.
My legs are achy now. I walked down to the library and stretching them out on the hill felt great.
