Running with the boys

On maintenance runs, I normally don't run more than a mile (mile and a half tops) and it's usually in my own neighborhood. Last night, I ran 5 miles through Golden Gate Park with Jon and Jeff. They completely smoked me, but they were also not run/walking like I was. You know, my run for 3 minutes and walk for 2 minutes dealio that I do during training. It was a pretty good run. It felt different running through the park at night, plus it was a little scary at times since the homeless start coming out. Also, it definitely makes a difference having people that you could talk to along the way. For most of the run, I was by myself and had no one to really talk to. Normally, I'm chatting up with my team, which makes the time fly by. However, I was with Jon for a little bit as it was getting darker. When we finished, we hung out by the Dutch Windmill for a little bit. I'm by the Windmill every Saturday for the past 6 months and I've never taken a picture of it.

Until now......
