Run 1:14:21 [1] 9.7 mi (7:40 / mi) +163m 7:17 / mi
This week's Strava art challenge: a whale! I ran singing the Whalom Park jingle of course.
Thought it was longer than it was since I'd pared back the tail of the whale a bit, and I had to be back for family Zoom Boggle. Pretty fast for a while, and took a couple of 8s up the hills, but made it back in plenty of time.
About a mile in I got to a road with a fence/gate across it, which Strava did not know about it. Not out of the way enough to mess up the whale, at least.

Run 1:07:01 [1] 8.5 mi (7:53 / mi) +47m 7:45 / mi
Let's go to the farmers market! How far is it? Oh about 8 miles. Oh, but that route is some bizarre Google Maps which takes you on a freeway. Let's go the other way.
Nadia biked along with, so I could grab at water whenever I needed it.
First five miles were nice, last three meh. Felt pretty okay.

Run 1:05:59 [1] 8.4 mi (7:51 / mi) +68m 7:40 / mi
Get to run back, too. Took a slightly nicer route on the other side of the 5. Around Mission Bay, there were a decent number of people out running on the road, but not a ton, since the pathway alongside is closed. There were police blocking every parking lot. Did they close the road to cars? Non! Why would you do that? Why have three police blocking the places to get on the road when you can have nine, with one at each parking area? Then we got yelled at to move to the side of the road by some guy in a car, and honked at by another (most people were fine).
I have written to the mayor and city council and suggested that they better utilize police resources by closing the road entirely. It's 45 feet wide, plenty of room to social distance.
Felt pretty good at the end of the run. Having a moving water bottle holder alongside was great. Let's she if she's up for 26.2 next Monday …

Run 20:32 [1] 1.9 mi (10:48 / mi) +26m 10:22 / mi
Where should we run?
Well we could run to the ocean I guess.
What about the creek instead, I wonder if it's running high.
It was. Such that I was sent on a mission to go back and run to take pictures.

Run 1:08:08 [1] 8.1 mi (8:25 / mi) +104m 8:05 / mi
Out along Rose Creek to take pictures of the creek. Which was a pretty raging torrent over its banks in places.
Ran out pretty easy to the bike path, seeing a beer truck and one guy running, then turned back. Then it started raining, for the way back. 55˚ and raining, felt like the East Coast. San Diego has gotten 20% of it's annual complement of rain in the past 24 hours.
Long line of cars for drive thru at InNOut. I might have to go on a long run that ends there one of these days.

Run 6:04 [4] 1.0 mi (6:04 / mi)
Yesterday's run showed me a PR for a segment on Diamond towards the ocean. Slightly downhill, but I've only run it slow, at about a 10m mile.
But the CR was 5:28 for a 0.9 mile segment. That's doable! So I warmed up a bit, and then ran it.
And am going to have to do it again, because friggin' Strava caught a bit of my turnaround at the ocean.
If I take it, which should be doable, I will take it from someone who was 35th at the Olympic trials, so that's something.

Ran back, via some hills.

Core 40:00 [1]
Longer CorePower workout today, but it wasn't quite as intense. I think I forgot to log one of these last week, too.
5 PM
Run 29:27 [1] 2.7 mi (10:54 / mi) +23m 10:38 / mi
Rain in the morning, zoom all day, and then a zoom seder, running after wasn't feeling great and my side-of-foot blister didn't look great. So the three miles with Nadia was fine.

Run 32:41 [1] 4.0 mi (8:10 / mi) +52m 7:51 / mi
Long call, long day, and rain most of the day = easy run in the evening. I don't need to run a half every day.
Road running is a lot of fun when you can run down the middle of every road with no cars.

Run 1:58:28 [1] 13.3 mi (8:54 / mi) +246m 8:25 / mi
So I got the idea, wouldn't it be fun to go out and run every street within n miles of where I am living? Sort of a walk shed: how far can I walk/run within half a mile?
Turns out, I bit off more than I could chew, kind of. It was 13.3 miles, all told, with only a few mistakes, and probably some less than perfect routing choices, but this was a traveling salesman problem I didn't want to solve.
By about mile 12 I was struggling; I hadn't brought water and it had gone from sun to rain and back to sort of humid and breezy. Not bad, though. It was also a bit of orienteering, even though by halfway I was using the tracking feature on my watch because I couldn't remember where I had and hadn't gone, it also had a good deal of route finding; other than the street signs, everything looks pretty much the same.
Also the blister on my L foot should be fun.
