I’m usually not a morning person, however, being in San Francisco I had no problem getting out of bed at 5:30 am to go for a run. One of the many things I love about running is exploring a new city before it gets busy (i.e., when the stores are preparing to open and before the sidewalks are crowded). I ran down Market Street to Montgomery Street, past the Transamerica Pyramid, then up Telegraph Hill. From Coit Tower (which has neat statue of Christopher Columbus), I had a tremendous view of the Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. After running through the surrounding neighborhoods and enjoying the view, I ran back down Montgomery to California Street where I followed the trolley tracks up to the Grace Cathedral (i.e., to the “top of the mark”). I then ran back down California, then over to Market Street where I stopped by a bakery in order to pickup some breakfast before running back to my hotel. In summary, another magnificent 6.2-mile run in San Fran!
My non-running workout was once again a short one that consisted of 200 sit-ups and 32 push-ups. |
