Across The Bay 12K Run - August 28, 2022

Just ran over the Golden Gate Bridge!

This run was pretty fun. It's a run from Sausalito cross the Golden Gate Bridge and finish in the Aquatics Park area in San Francisco. It was a cold morning, but with a group of runners all in it together it pretty much warmed things up for this 7.5 mile run.

Respectable Finish!

This was my only other run for 2022, so I felt a little better doing this run. I feel, I'm not as conditioned as I'd like to be. I don't want to make it as an excuse as I'm getting older and not trained as in years past. But I think deep down inside, I'd like to be in a better place, health wise. But as you get older, it takes longer to warm up, train differently, and recover differently. I'm sort of giving push back but in reality, I must in order to be in better shape as I age.

Overall, I finished in a good time.

Thrilled, I finished!

Time to treat myself!

Clam Chowder! Delish!

New Year Running Setback

Today, I was suppose to be running in the San Francisco 10K Run , unfortunately my left heel is totally out of sync. I'm in a lot of pain. As much as I wanted to do the run, I didn't want to take the chance on injuring myself more. Recovery time will take a while. Of all the years I've signed up in running events, this is my first one to not finish! This yearly running event was my favorite. It was the start of my running season in the new year and it helped me be motivated for the rest of the year. In the last few years, I've been signing up for shorter runs, i.e. 10K, 5K. Reason, I've not been training as much for long distance races. My last long run was in 2024 in the Hapalua Half Marathon in Honolulu. I finished in under 3 hours . Normally, I would be done in just over 2 hours. But as I age, I feel I'm slowing down and not getting my stride these days. 2026 hasn't been a good start, but I recognize my shortcoming and need to get back on the horse to ...

Hapalua Half Marathon - Waikiki Beach, Hawaii 2022

The last time I ran this race was in 2016. At that time, I managed to finish the half marathon in 2 hours and 8 minutes. Along with my friend, Tedd, we finished respectively for our age group and among overall participants. However, in 2022, I dealt with the tail end of the COVID -19 pandemic. I may have in fact still been suffering from the effects of the infection, as I did not run as well as I had hoped. This race was tough on my body and my breathing. I had to stop a few times and it was miserable and frustrating at the same time. I was training up to this event but apparently not as well as I hoped. I hope in 2023, I can rally and do better than this past year's time of 2 hours and 36 minutes. Off by more than 25 minutes! All done! Tedd and I - We finished!
