Baker Beach 4 & 5Mi

On Saturdy, 6/30, we had our team run at Baker Beach. It was foggy and overcast and my allergies were also acting up big time.

Due to the 4th of July, there were only maybe 20 of us there for the run but that was ok! The run was pretty tough in the beginning - up hill through the Seacliff neighborhood until we reached Land's End. Then, we trail ran Land's End. The options were 4 or 5 miles. I did the 4 miles and Erik did 5 miles. I love hiking Land's End but running it is HARD! There are some steep areas and stairs, too.

Lesson learned today was  - 1)Take an allergy pill at least an hour before the run. I was sneezing/coughing/blowing my nose for a good 1/2 mile before I got into the swing of things 2)Do a warm-up run. Even If I run 1/2 mile before we get to the actual team run, I will be warmed up and ready to go. I think it takes me a little while to get my breathing in sync, etc.

Overall though, it was a great run. Beautiful, as usual. I also really wanted to take Evie to Baker Beach after this run so we went back the next day for her to frolic in the water.
