Flying in to Oakland then taking the BART to the other side of the Bay, I arrived in San Francisco in the middle of the afternoon. Still feeling under the weather, I took a short nap before taking a nice 6.6-mile evening jog over to Ghirardelli Square then to Pier 39 before returning to my hotel. Beside the running, the giant sourdough bowl of clam chowder seemed to make me feel better.

For my non-running workout, it was just another day of 300 sit-ups.

I've been there! Not when I ran, but I can actually picture where you ran. Did you meet 'bush man'? He is the best part of that area of the bay!

Glad you are feeling better.

Now why isn't the bowl of clam chowder listed on your "Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge" list...? :-) That sure sounds good right now!

Thanks everyone!!! I am still running and racing, but just way busy at work. I am going to try to catch up with the blog this week (i.e., I miss all of you).

Also, great to meet you Burt and add me to your list of bloggers you have meant in person. Sorry, I did not have that much time (i.e., shirt size issues and our final runner was coming in). After we finished and did the entire routine, I tried to circle through the crowd, but sorry I had no luck in finding you (way too tired). Happy Running!

Good morning Nancy! Sorry, I have been out of town at a race since Thursday. I'll look through my mail when I get home. Thanks so much and more later!--John

Nice meeting you, too. You are now on the list. Poor allie remains off the list.

From allie on Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 13:50:46 from 161.38.218.168

grrrr.

From Rossy on Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 15:39:49 from 167.138.234.20

Wow, no Allie on The List!!!! Making The List is now even a bigger accomplishment. The Ragnar Relay finisher's medal, the Saints to Sinners medal, and making The List in some Vegas park, what a great Saturday for me!

From RAD on Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 15:46:23 from 98.202.23.178

does the amount of time you've been on the list increase your 'accomplishment' factor? :)

From Burt on Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 16:11:04 from 72.223.91.148

You have been on for quite some time RAD. You're on the A list.
