I can't tell you how nice it was to sleep in a room with the window open. To feel the sixty-one degree San Francisco breeze flow through the screen, prompting me to curl up under my down comforter. How beautiful to sleep under a down comforter in the middle of JULY!
I can't tell you how fantastic it felt to lace up The Asics this morning and leave for a long run at 10:30 a.m. To breathe in and not choke on humidity. To sweat freely without it stinging The Eyes, since the droplets have time to evaporate here! And, OH, to run under that beautiful Golden Gate Bridge!
California, I am back. I am HOME. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long...
Round-up:
- Friday - 5 miles - Lake Shore Drive, but I might as well have been swimming in Lake Michigan, it was so freaking humid! - 47:30 before quitting - 9:30/mile pace - YES, it hurt. Badly.
- Saturday - 4 miles - Treadmill, because I'm weak - 35:30 - 8:53/mile pace - Ah, Air Conditioning.
- Sunday - 10 miles - Marina/Krissy Field/Fort Point - 1:32:30 - 9:15/mile pace - The LSD is back!

You have certainly embraced Phase 5 of your life. You are loving the SF life, no doubt.
our LSD was run this week in something like 90+ degrees and 47% humidity.
the high for the next few days is something like 100 degrees, with the heat index hovering around 100 and satan.
you and california both suck.
and i'm jealous.
Down comforters in July are nice. ahhh, I miss New Hampshire.
Glad your back.
weather for nyc today -- 96 F. heat and UV index advisory.
nic, i really don't want to hear about window open 61 F weather.
thanks.
I'm sure SF missed you as much as you missed being home.
Don't you just love living on the West Coast? You and I are so blessed.
Nic, you are going to make them all think that ALL of California is comforter cool in July. Just 45 minutes south, I'm melting. But...there's not the humidity that you all complain of. Gotta love California even if I have been on top of the sheets and blanketless for months now.
