Last weekend I packed what would fit in my car and drove across the country. This week I took time to organize my new life on the West Coast. This morning I went on my first run as a San Franciscan.
A bunch of cool trails and these beautiful views happen to be a short distance from my house. I think I'm going to like this.
I'm a bit scared of bridges and I'm terrified of heights and ledges, so making it across the Golden Gate Bridge will be a serious challenge for me. Luckily I've got plenty of time to practice before the U.S. Half Marathon, my next scheduled race. I have a lot of hills to get used to before I'll feel like a solid runner here.
5.31-mile splits: 8:41, 9:43, 9:32, 9:55, 9:52, 2:50
Air temp: 59F, foggy
Welcome to your new home!!!!! You made an oblique reference to SF recently, so I was wondering what was up with the move. How exciting for you! <3 I hope you love it. <3
ReplyDeleteHi A,
ReplyDeleteThank God you made it there safe! You are going to love your new home because it is so close to so many awesome running trails:) Those pictures are great! Nice job on that first run!
Enjoy your first weekend in San Fran:) Take care Lady!
Love the photos, it looks beautiful there! Good luck with your training.
ReplyDeleteWow! 59 degrees and so scenic, but I know those SF hills are killer. When you train for a while, and then go race in other areas, you will be flying. Some beautiful running north of SF too. What a place to live!
