Moderate: 3 Miles Through the Castro

This morning I ran one of the first routes I discovered after moving back in to SF. This used to be my staple run (2 or 3 times a week) back when 3 miles still was a decent distance. Once I began the marathon training program, this route became the short run, then eventually it was too short to be worth my while.

However, I thought it'd be nice to run it again to see how my time would compare and also allow me to keep my total weekly distance short. Anything under 24 minutes was my benchmark for a fast run on this route. Today, without pushing too hard, I kept it well under 23 minutes. Another sign pointing out the progress I've been making.
