Easy run. Average pace: 10:18.

I accidentally set my alarm for 5:30 pm, but I woke up at 5:30 am anyway.

It was a flat run at sea level. The only hills were two bridges that went over a river.

It was a very pleasant run. I'm looking forward to doing it again tomorrow. I was running along a road that goes along the shore of the San Francisco Bay and I noticed that there was a trail that went along the side of the road, closer to the shore. I couldn't really see the trail, but I could see people walking on it. It was still fairly dark and I felt safer staying on the road since I'm in an unfamiliar place and I didn't know where the trail went, but I finally got the guts to cross the street and go up on the trail and stayed on the trail untill it looked like it would diverage from the road that I had intended to follow. I think I'll try to find an entrance to the trail earlier in the run tomorrow.

It definitely is easier running at sea level than at 5800 feet.

Sweet! Was it about the same temperature as here? You should try a tempo run tomorrow and take advantage of the sea level oxygen while you can! ;o)

It was a little warmer than it has been in Colorado lately, maybe 5 degrees warmer.

I am planning to do a tempo run tomorrow like I did last Thursday. I'm kind of making Thursdays tempo run days. I'm going to take the first mile slow and then try to push the pace after that. I better go to bed early tonight.
