So sore

Mon 5/18: Oh my gosh I'm so sore. All my leg muscles feel like they can't move. This is so ridiculous, was definitely not expecting it to be this bad. At least it doesn't feel like I hurt anything though.
PM: DDR, played all really easy songs but for like 2 hours.

Tue 5/19: PM: 3mi, Levi's.

Wed 5/20: Brought the gbike to LinkedIn, commuted on Greenbelt, 13mi. Gbike was so slow... and Greenbelt requires slowing down way too much. Went to James' after for interview practice.

Thu 5/21: Biked, 12mi. Ran after work, HH 5mi. Went to James' after for interview practice.

Fri 5/22: Biked, 11.7mi, played a lot of bball.

Sat 5/23: Rugged Maniac mud run, 3mi. Was pretty fun, lots of climbing and crawling, not much running. All the obstacles were easy (rings and the curved ramp, warped wall I guess were both doable with no problems). Crawling was not when the ground was rocky, though.

Sun 5/24: To the water and back, 6mi. Taco festival, then lots and lots of games. Ka visited! Also went to single barrel.

Total: Ran 17 and biked 35.7.

Totally ready for this 12k race

Tue 5/12: 3mi, Levi's. Calves still sore, quad better.

Wed 5/13: Hetch Hetchy, 5mi.

Thu 5/14: Bike to work day, got my biked fixed and a free shirt without actually biking xD. PM: Guadelupe to Gold and back, 5mi. Felt pretty good during the run, but calves were quite sore afterwards.

Fri 5/15: Basketball! Played a lot.

Sat 5/16: Levi's 3mi, then off to SF!

Sun 5/17: Bay to Breakers! We woke up at 5:30 and took the muni to get to the start line by 6:30. Jogged around a bit and got warmed up to line up in the front of corral A by 7:15, which was much too early. Watched a bunch of records being announced and random other announce-y (like hey look, everybody is throwing tortillas around!) things for 45 minutes until we finally got to start. Was a bit stiff at first but loosened up around a mile in. It wasn't too crowded since we went out at around 6:15 pace for the first mile. Jon and I stuck together for the first 4 miles (3 mile split was 20min but included Hayes' hill so it only got easier from there), drafted off each other a little bit during then, and then I took off. I started getting a bit of a side stitch around then too, and it kept getting worse and worse. I blame the fact that I couldn't use the bathroom for a whole 45 minutes before the start because I would have lost my place in the front of the corral. Anyway, I kept passing people until around mile 5.5, when this guy in a banana suit passed me. He wasn't going that much faster, but I decided he would be a good guy to keep up with, so we kind of gradually kept speeding up and pushing each other. Around 800m from the end, I decided to start kicking even though by this point my stomach was in quite a bit of pain, and then he noticed when I passed him and kicked as well, finishing a few seconds before me. Turns out he went to the same HS as Justine and Chris Wong. Small world. Anyway, when I passed the finish line the clock said around 49:50 and I was really happy for going under 50 since that was my original goal. Took me around 5 minutes and another guy saying he finished in 48 to realize that was the first gun time so I actually finished in under 48! The race felt really good other than that stupid side stitch (yay for not actually racing until the very end). My quads were really sore afterwards though, so jogging back to Jon's was quite difficult / I kept saying to slow down. The free food, drinks, and swag made it all ok though. Race time was 47:24 (yay first PR in over a year! - and longest race ever by far!), 21st in division, 6:22 pace overall, Hayes' hill in 3:59.44. Maybe next year we'll dress up and be more interesting (but still actually run it, fo sho). ~11mi total.
Went to the panhandle and enjoyed all the festivities afterwards, was super fun!

Total: 27mi.

Starting the bike commute!

Mon 5/4: AM: First day biking to work, 5.5mi. Accidentally went straight on Arques instead of turning right on Fair Oaks, but it's actually pretty easy going this way because there are a lot fewer cars. Then ran Hetch Hetchy, 5mi. Felt pretty good except my R knee was a little tired.
PM: Biked back, actually went the right way for once! 5.5mi.
Yay signed up for Rugged Maniac!

Tue 5/5: AM: So tired... woke up at 7:40. Biked 5.5mi.
PM: Hetch Hetchy, 5mi. Biked back home 5.5mi.

Wed 5/6: AM: Waking up so early these days. Biked 5.5mi.
PM: Biked 5.5mi then DDR! Got a flat tire on the way home... :( Good thing there's the fix-a-flat class on Friday. Also, back kind of hurts, I think it's from biking.

Thu 5/7: Off. Visited Stanford and Teaspoon.

Fri 5/8: Biked 5.5mi, no fix-a-flat class so was all a waste. Got ditched so had to run to basketball, 2.6mi with a backpack. Played like 5 games then got a ride back with Randy.

Sat 5/9: 6.8mi, El Camino. R quad started feeling really sore at night for some reason...

Sun 5/10: Mother's Day! Was gonna run a workout, but quad was still a bit sore so decided to take it easy. Up San Tomas trail to the water and back on Guadelupe, 6.1mi. At least back is feeling mostly better by now.

Total: Biked 38.5 and ran 25.5.
