Day Off

Andy and I took a lovely day off from everything yesterday. We went to breakfast around noon at a wonderful little French cafe in Cole Valley, then walked in the sun up to Kezar Stadium and watched the runners for a while, bumping into a couple of friends on the way. After that, we walked up to Canvas Cafe and spent a few hours reading and talking about the future of literature. Then we walked through Golden Gate Park to the Inner Richmond where we spent a cold half hour at Green Apple Books before getting dinner at Le Soleil. We capped off our night by going to see Almodovar's new film, Volver, at the Clay. Ahhh . . . A whole vacation packed into one day.

My long run Sunday was great and I feel good about the new schedule and pace goals. I started off a bit too fast, but settled into an 11:30 mile nicely and averaged an 11:00 mile over all. I'm already getting excited about the 12k in March!
