This morning, I woke up just before 6:00 am and headed out to Pier 1 and down The Embarcadero, past Fisherman’s Warf, through Fort Mason, to Crissy Field, then to Fort Point at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge before heading back. It was so foggy this morning that I could only begin to see that I was next to the Golden Gate Bridge when I was about a half-mile away and when at the Fort, I could only make out the base of bridge and the road above. It was truly engulfed in the infamous San Fran fog. Also, the waves crashing against the rocky shore (showering the running path) and the constant fog horn made for an unreal experience. On the way back, I saw a group of tri-athletes (a dozen or so) swimming in the Bay at the Marina Green and as the fog started to let up a little bit as the sun came out it made for a scenic view of the Bay Bridge. In total, I was able to get in 12.15 miles at a relatively easy pace (i.e., 8:04 minutes per mile).
Finally, for my non-running workout, I completed my typical routine of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
