I think I'm mentally weak. For the first time I ran alone outside. And it sucked. I'm not sure if I pushed myself too hard in the beginning, not having anyone else to pace off of or what, but by the end I was huffing hard and my chest was tight. I worked late and wasn't able to join the buddy run group under the clock tower on the Embarcadero. Instead, I parked at Folsom and Embarcadero, right beside the arrow and ran towards the Ferry building to Pier 39 and back. I don't know how Clay runs solo all the time. I found it really challenging, but was encouraged to keep at it knowing that there was a high probability that I would be running the marathon solo as well. Gotta toughen up.
