Monterey

We spent Saturday afternnon at Moss Landing and Monterey. This was a nice get away to enjoy the ocean breeze.



Mary

Good run to Mary Av. in Cupertino. I left at 5AM to beat the heat and I went back to the previous running location. I have run the train track hundreds of time in the 6 years lived there. In addition to the trail track run, I added the new bridge at Mary Av. Never done it running. At the end I completed the 16 miler run added in the plan to get back some training lost. Still the shin has issues with some slow down of the pace but I could live with it.

San Francisco Marathon - 6

I'm still hoping to get back to the training for the SF Marathon. The last three week has been bad. I got injured at the Shin, but the all nerve of the leg is impacted and I have problems with all the running. Not sure if I will make it, in case it will be a a difficult one. I lost the last 16/20 long runs and I'm not sure I can make it up.

Los Gatos Creek

Another tentative of normal run this morning. I could run but still some pain in the legs. Paolo enjoyed the good 6.12 mi in 52:26 at 8:34 pace.
