Hi everyone - taking a break from my regular investing posts to start documenting my running journey! One of my New Year's Resolutions this year is to run at least two races - 10K or further. I haven't been the best about training in the past - a lot of my cardio used to just come from basketball - but the running community here has really inspired me to start back up!
And without further ado, here's to my most recent run:
Date: February 10, 2018
Shoes: Nike Fly Knits
Route: SF
San Francisco Financial District to Palace of Fine Arts (~4.5 miles)
Distance
~4.5 miles
Notes
I've been out in SF for work recently where the weather has been pretty perfect. My shoes have been collecting dust for much of winter (the joys of living in the NE), but nothing like 65 and sunny to inspire you to lace back up.
While I struggled pretty hard with my conditioning throughout the run, it was great to get some air flowing through the lungs. After battling SF's hills for the first two miles, I finally made it to the water where the route leveled out.
I had every intention of running around the Palace of Fine Arts (another ~1 mile), but by the time I got there, I was GASSED. Ended up having to walk through the park, but that did give me some time to take a few nice pics!
I'm still looking to develop a formal training plan so would love to hear any advice or thoughts below!
