Easy: 8 Miles to the Presidio

My right foot was sore again this morning, but I didn't feel any additional pain when walking/running, so I'm hopeful that I should be able to meet my goals for the week. I kept the run at an easy pace, despite the fact that I was running late to meet my wife and kid at Crissy Field.

The distance ended up being longer than I anticipated and I forgot to pack food, so I had a blood sugar crash when I got home. This used to happen to me nearly every day when I trained in college. I'd run 7 - 10 miles in the late afternoon, hang out for a bit with friends, then walk home and cook dinner. I didn't actually eat until about 90 minutes after my run and would grow incredibly tired after dinner. After about 20 minutes, the drowsiness passed and I'd be wide awake again.
