Good run, 2K and hill

Ran today a pretty good an hour set in crisp +10 degree spring conditions. Pulled a 6.39 at the home stretch and 49,4 to the top of Visamäki. Just thought “I can still run!” It’s been months I ran anything this quick. Felt pretty grateful. Few hours later the whole body was kinda shaking from the workout, like almost fewer coming… Now again overnight flights and Asian hotels ahead.

20K Rodeo Beach trail run in 1.28

Had a longer stopover at SFO today. Decided to challenge the weather and rode up to Marin for a 20K trail run. Must have been one of the toughest running races I’ve ever done. Partly because of poor training background but more importantly because of heavy rain & wind. Visibility was maximum 100 meters over the course. At some points just 20 meters or so and I had to hold on to the cap so it didn’t fly away. Also the course is quite tough with 700m total vertical ascend. When I saw a sign saying 3.4 miles or 5.8km to Rodeo Beach I felt like being betrayed. Legs were all done and I was ready to speed down. Somehow I could however carry on the remainder of the course which was either downhill or flat. Results here.
