Comments: Seriously, winter, what is up? Six weeks in and it feels like a day in late spring. Beautiful, perfect running day. Wore leggings, racing shorts, and my San Francisco Marathon 2006 technical shirt. After last Saturday's struggle, I pushed myself a bit faster in the first half to limited success. Ran through my neighborhood instead of at the lonely American River Parkway, enjoying the distractions. As I returned through Gibbons Park, I momentarily took my eyes off the sidewalk to watch a pick-up basketball game and tripped on an elevated slab of concrete. Down I went, scraping my right hand and leaving it bloody. My leggings protected my right knee and leg from getting bloody as well, so I am really glad I wore them. Only left with a faint red scrape on my right knee. The guys playing basketball, far from pointing and laughing, actually seemed cool about it, asking if I was OK and making light of what was something of an embarrassment, for me. Ah, well, it happens. I went into the restroom and washed up a bit, but spent the rest of the run sucking on the wounds to help them close up. Passed two women selling Mandarin oranges by the side of the road, one at the north end of Gibbons Park at Edison Avenue and the other at the intersection of Engle Road and Eastern Avenue. Lots of people out walking dogs, playing tennis, watching their children play, or just enjoying themselves with friends. Running in the late afternoon sun reveals a lot more of the homes I pass than in the evenings. I spotted many residents outside their homes. One man and his two sons were going for a walk. I passed a group of three men building or repairing some kind of four-inch high, astroturf-covered wooden stage, maybe four by four feet in size. They seemed unhappy and I heard some cursing as I passed. One home near Kimberley Way and Engle Road had a cigarette advertisement sign on their front lawn--the kind one might see outside a gas station and convenience store. Strange. When I returned home, I realized I ran only about 7.5 miles instead of 8.0. Oh well.
