You can plot a perfect running path and discover mid-way that there is a significant hill in-between.<\/li>\n<li>Memorizing possible paths prior to running is all great in theory, but once you&#8217;ve ran for 45 minutes you realize that all streets have similar names here: &#8220;San Something&#8221; or they sound Spanish and that you don&#8217;t know how to get home via your preferred route.<\/li>\n<li>This leads to doing stupid things like running 15km, which to my surprise wasn&#8217;t that hard. I did take a few days off after that, just to make sure I fully regenerate.<\/li>\n<li>Getting back to 100km\/month wasn&#8217;t that hard and it took me only 3 runs\/week. I&#8217;m hoping to raise it to 4 runs\/week in next month.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s about it. This was my 11 month of running since I started last year and I can&#8217;t wait to see how my &#8220;last&#8221; month will go and to tally up the whole first year of running.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also not sure about how I should proceed with my runs. I&#8217;m comfortable with my current pace and distance, but I&#8217;m not sure how much I can safely add into my training in terms of distance and number of runs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It took me about two weeks of living in San Francisco to realize that as much as I love roller skating, it just won&#8217;t work.
