For this 14 mile (!) run, my goal was PMP + 30 seconds/mile, or around 10'22". Since we were moving out of San Francisco that day, I decided to make it my farewell tour of the City. I headed through Golden Gate Park (although for mileage sake I skipped Stowe Lake and its beautiful dirt path up the "mountain") out to Ocean Beach, up the hill past the Cliff House and Sutro Baths, down the Lands End path, through the Sea Cliff neighborhood of rich people, into the Presidio, up to Golden Gate Bridge, down Crissy Field, and then back up to the Presidio Gate and my bus back home.
According to Nike Plus, I ran 14 miles at a pace of 10'30". However, according to my map of my route, it may have been closer to 13.5 miles. However, I did manage to get in around 1,000 feet of elevation gain, which is great training! I was, however, extremely tired by the end of the run. I could not at that point imagine running more than 14 miles, much less 26.2. Well, let's hope much of that is from the elevation gain!
