120: monkey bars mentor run

8:00am, Marina Green Monkey Bars

F'ing 8am on a Saturday. Which really means waking up at 7:30 and leaving at 7:45 to be there by 8am. Bleh. I'm a cranky morning person. Ask Clay. Enough monku'ing out of me.

Today was pretty simple. No pace requirements just running for a specific time period. So from the monkey bars, we ran to the Flag Pole, stretched, and ran for 15 minutes out, then 15 minutes back in to the monkey bars for a final stretch. Using USA Track and Field's badass running routes website (here), you can actually calculate a pretty accurate route, even utilizing google earth's hybrid mapping so that you can take walking paths and trails into account. So Clay and I ran a total of 3.84 miles together.

Clay went on past the monkey bars, through fort mason, down jefferson then the embarcadero for another 4.3 miles. His total mileage was 8.14. I DROVE the rest of the way and picked his sweaty butt up at willie mays plaza before heading home.
