   If you saw what I ate this morning, you would know I had to go out for a run today. Hit the Ferry Building to walk around the Farmers' Market and ordered an egg and bacon sandwich from the Rose Pistola booth. I've eaten this yummy concoction many times before, but today the chefs had swapped out the usual thinly sliced sourdough bread for inch thick, drenched in olive oil foccacia bread. Delicious, but I felt like I was gaining weight just sitting there eating it.

   A quick 10K in the late afternoon sun, made me feel as if I had worked off the sandwich a bit, though. And, of course, now I'm hungry again.

   Hit the bricks right around commute time, so I had to be extra careful out there. Lots of dodging, bobbing, weaving, traffic-directing, and other gerunding to make sure I had a collision-free experience. The hotter weather is really killing my pace, but at least I felt much better than last night.

   Broke the run up into two parts so I could catch the tail-end of one of my little kid friend's first baseball practice. And the girl has game. I saw her knock a solid single right up the middle, and I'm sure she's got a lot more hits in her.

   Quite a contrast from last night when a long run perked me up and shook off my fatigue.Tonight I went out feeling really great and slowly began to fall apart. I was all ready to pack it in by mile 2(!); was bargaining with my Maker at mile 4; and prayed for the sweet release only Death can bring by mile 6. Good lord, what if this had been a race?

   Anyway, got home whipped up the smoothie, and now I'll try and get my mojo back with some crunches and push-ups.

     For every bad run there are 1,000 good ones. Hang in there.

     Hey, how do you manage to change the t-shirt on your profile? I like Speed Racer!

     Thanks all. I know today will be better...or maybe tomorrow. And @John, the shirt is all Photoshop, and I'll be changing it up some more.

   The park was mobbed with runners tonight including a large contingent of folks training for the SF Marathon. Most everyone got into the holiday spirit by dressing up in green except me so I had to run fast to avoid getting pinched!

   Coming out of the park I was surprised at how low key the vibe on Haight Street was, but I did pass one group fueled by liquid courage trying to impress a young lass. I don't think this is your year, fellas.

   Headed out on a fabulous spring evening to do the ballpark-Ferry Building-Market Street loop. Tried to step lively and quick and was rewarded with mostly green lights heading up Market Street. I'm sure we have a few more chilly days ahead, but, if tonight's weather was any indication, not too long from now we're all going to be complaining about the heat!

      I know that look. A guy on a bike just about ran the red light light at 16th & Harrison when I was walking from work to the Bart station. He braked hard and did a panic stop. We were eyeball to eyeball when he came to a stop.
