Long Slow Distance (LSD) Run

The ski season is beginning to wind down so I finally managed to get a weekend off. Desperately needing some new tri gear, and having some social events in the area, I decided to head down to the Bay Area. First stop was at my favorite store for some mandatory gear for my 1/2 Ironman coming up in a week and a half.

Afterwards Garuna and I embarked on an adventurous run through the Presidio, the park adjacent to Golden Gate Bridge. We started off by running directly into a 60mph headwind, which is a silly way to warm up for a long run. Nonetheless, we didn't want to finish into the headwind, so off we went.

We navigated the trails around the park, and got in some good climbing (not sure the elevation changes), and managed to click off an 1:40 of running. I'm hoping it ended up being about 10 miles, however with the wind and hills I'm sure if was closer to 9.

This was by far the longest run (time-wise) that I've ever done. I'm happy to say I felt awesome afterwards. Post run we feasted on grapes, apples, oranges, sunflower seeds, and raisins, then followed up with some burritos! Yum.
