I work up this morning and went on a short hill workout on a very famous incline, Telegraph Hill. Leaving my hotel, I ran up Market Street to Montgomery Street then headed past a trolley car ascending California up to the top of the infamous hill. Then I climbed up the stairs to the base of Coit Tower which overlooks the city and the bay; that is, amazing views of the Bay Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and the Golden Gate Bridge--the latter was engulfed by the morning fog. The hills in San Francisco are extremely steep, but being at sea level, not too difficult to run up. I then ran back to my hotel, completing 4.4 miles at a relatively easy pace.
For my evening run, I headed down Market Street to The Embarcadero and past the Piers to Fisherman’s Warf to check out the sights and sounds. I then ran over to Ghirardelli Square before heading back to Market Street.
The total distance of this run was 4.5 miles at an easy pace. Finally, for my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, and 40 (50, 40 lbs) curls. |
