The G Running Diary

Road Runners: 12/6/03

There is no trace left of the quad pain from the Quad, but other things hurt. I've been moving all week, and I treat it like a workout. Who would have thought books could be so heavy? Or that I really had that many books? Because I'm only moving a mile away, I made lots of little trips with stuff. Maybe I will be all buffed when I am done. I am ready to run again though. No events planned this weekend, but next weekend Don and I will run Fear and Loathing in San Francisco, hosted by Hollis Lenderking. Even though it is all roads, it is fun and attracts ultrarunners who usually stay away from the roads. Maybe they like the fact that you can stop and get a latte pretty much any time you want. Or it's the roaming aid stations delivered out of cars. It is definitely low key fun and an odd collision with the non-ultrarunner world when you go running up Market Street.

So I am leaving this Mountain View/Los Altos neighborhood that I occasionally ran around and going to Palo Alto. I'm sure I will find new streets to run around. The weekends are always trails (except for Fear and Loathing) but the short weekday runs are when I like to run out the front door and see my immediate surroundings. That is, when I do go running.
