Distance: 6.3 mi. (walk/run; outdoors)
Mapmyrun.com says it was something like 6.3 miles, but I'm not entirely convinced that the website has all the trails I went on. The running was rough again on my legs. I guess I just have to break them in some more. I'm reminded of how my legs felt after walking days on end on my pilgrimage.
Today's route, however, was something to behold. I took the 38 bus all the way to the coast and then hopped on the trail in Sutro Heights Park. It took me to Eagle's Point, where there's a spectacular view of the Golden Gate and the ocean, the Presidio, where I'm wouldn't mind owning a house with said view out back and a mini cooper out front, and Baker Beach, where some people were taking wedding photos. Needless to say, I found myself stopping quite a bit to take in the sights and snap pictures with my phone. They just don't do the sights justice:
This is from Eagle's Point. And that's my foot. My mode of transportation.
This is Baker Beach, where dogs frolicked and photographers took wedding photos (reminded me of my lovely former roomie, Mabyn).
And here's the sun setting over the beautiful ocean view. Don't you wish your runs were this scenic?

what do you mean? I love looking over the smelly Columbia canal and dodging dog crap. :) But it is fun when you see some wildlife along the way, as long as it's not snakes!
Wow, the pictures are beautiful, if the views are better I'm not sure I could handle it. Reading you running posts makes me want to start working out, well I won't say again, because I never really have, but to start.
