Question: So how do you get back into running after a few months off moving to San Francisco?
Answer: Sign up for 2 half marathons on a whim, 7 days apart.
Yes, we go hard. Melissa had this idea that we should check out a race that’s close to home. It’s a no brainer, really. The starting line is a quick Uber ride away, we don’t need a hotel, and we could be back recuperating in our apartment in no time. Not to mention our scenic run would be a great welcome to the city, officially. So I said sure, even though we have Rock n’ Roll Vegas half and 5K Remix Challenge next weekend. Did I mention we go hard?
The race went really well. We ran our best time on not much training either. The 1 minute run, 1 minute 1 walk routine proves extremely useful. The only downside was the drizzle for most of first 6 miles. But the rest of the run was very enjoyable. Running along the Golden Gate Bridge was spectacular! We also got to run along the beach and Fort Point, where the famous scene in Vertigo took place (glad I didn’t have to jump into raging waters that day). Great waves there too.
