Running with Presto up to Tilden and back! This week was a bit stressful at work, so I just wanted to get out for a nice de-stressing run today. The air finally seems clear from all the fires (although it was never anywhere close to as bad as last year!) and it was gloriously cool and sunny. We ran up to Tilden and then along to Lake Anza. I briefly considered turning around here, but decided to keep going up to Summit Ave. I got some great views across the Bay here, and my initial plan was to come down the steps and trails from Summit Ave. But the idea of giving up all that elevation on steps when I could run down a more gradual decent was unpleasant, so I turned around to get a bit more time on trails and then headed to Grizzly Peak Blvd. My hamstring felt good the whole time, although my annoying burning nerve thing in my right foot started acting up a tiny bit on the downhill. Awesome run!

More wiped than I feel like I should have been from the run. Stretching was oddly difficult. I think I was just finally not stressed and my body decided it was time to sleep :-).

Running with Presto after lab! Got out of lab later than I wanted to because we have to clean out a bunch of fridges and freezers this week. Turns out people do not like to throw things out... Anyway, feeling pretty tired, but it was really good to be running. I don't think I ever mentioned this, but my left hamstring has been bothering me a bit since the ARDF sprint. It was a tiny bit twingy tonight, but mostly feeling good.

Normal abs.

Normal stretching.

Easy-peasy jog with Sam and Presto after lab! I was actually feeling pretty decent tonight, but Sam was super exhausted from work, so we just took it nice and easy. Presto was SUPER EXCITED about all the deer.

Normal stretching.

Running with Sam and Presto at Point Pinole! Back home! I slept for 11 hours last night, and then in a vague effort to inform my body of when the sun is up and when it is not up, we headed out for a run. My legs were pretty stiff to start with, but loosened up after a bit and the run ended up being pretty enjoyable. We saw a tiny puppy out there that we stopped to say hi to. The vizsla group was also out today, so there were a ton of vizslas. Fun, fun!

Normal abs on the picnic table by the cars. Fiona the wolfhound decided my face needed cleaning while I was doing this and came over to say hi :-).

Normal stretching at home.
