Seven easy miles with about 3 with Kimi.  Also did 1 steep hill sprint in the middle just for fun.

Nice relaxing run at work just before lunch.  Felt pretty good today maybe my legs are finally coming back.

When Kim and I headed at the door around 11am the wind was pretty wicked from the east. So we headed west down the hill and into the bottoms with hopes the wind would be calmer by the river.  Thankfully it was quite a bit nicer in the bottoms than the bench, ended up feeling a bit overdressed and too warm.

Ran just over 3 with Kim then 5 more solo.  Still feeling pretty good, planning on donating blood later today so we'll see if I still feel good for tomorrow's run.

Did 1 steep hill sprint early in the run.

Ran at work - did part of my 7 Peaks out & back run (only 6 peaks worth). Felt pretty good considering I donated blood last night.  HR was pretty high though, I'm assuming that's why.

Did the usual Saturday long run with the SF running club.  Felt OK the first few miles then we hit a ruthless headwind and things got pretty tough. Nice to be done with the run for the day.
