From the first couple’a runs this week. (I actually did FIVE! Yay me!) Bernal is nice and green. My fave. The Wharf was cloudy with a little rain but nothing substantial. Definitely lucked out! I also did a Glenn Canyon loop, a Noe Valley super shorty and a Twin Peaks loop today. #irunsf #outdoorfitness #runningdistractions #gooutside #sfhills #fogcityfitclub #latergram (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsjur9hjOrv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x39uvux1xbed

Lovely Aquatic Park, Russian Hill, Marina, Fort Mason loop yesterday that took us up Hyde (there Cage’s house for sale) and back down Chestnut to Palace of Fine Arts where the swans were extra extra and back to Aquatic Park witch remains closed because of the government shutdown so there’s trash everywhere, including the rubber ducky tied to another rubber sunbather in an inter tube next to the beach. Cute but sad. People are gross. I did not photograph the human fences graffiti written on the Maritime Museum because I wish I hadn’t seen it myself! #runningdistractions #outdoorfitness #fogcityfitclub #irunsf #gooutside #365milesin365days #aquaticpark #hydestreethill #forsale #russianhill #crookedmansions #pofa #sffloraandfauna #pofaswans #alcatraz #fortmason #governmentshutdowntrash #litterbugs (at Marina District, San Francisco) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsMjVIJDgCa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hltc3bgc6b5k

Scenes from my last few runs around town. Today, Grace and I hit up the Presidio for the first time since before Halloween! It was very good to be back and, as always, provided an amazing setting to get our sweat on. For some reason, I only took one pic up on Bernal Hill, that’s getting greener by the day! Soon it will look like Ireland again. That’s my favorite time to be up there! The Candy Land house in our ‘hood and some fun ones from my Castro run yesterday.

I’m giving the ol’ hip a break today, so only three runs this week. They were all fun but bar the swing on top of Bernal, yesterday’s was my fave! Lots of hills. Lots of stairs. Spectacular views! Love that shit! #runningdistractions #outdoorfitness #fogcityfitclub #irunsf #bernalhillswing #themarina #alcatraz #municipalpier #broadwaysteps #citylightsbookstore #northbeach #russianhill #transamericapyramid #exploratorium #filbertsteps #invasionofthebodysnatchers #baybridge #coittower #ggb #peterpaulandmarychurch #peterandpaulcathedral #washingtonsquarepark #666filbert (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpu1LCmDsVR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p0ayg1zu1fre

Scenes from last week’s four runs, all involving hills except for the Kezar run...that one involved bleachers. It’ll never not be cool to me that I can see downtown and/or one of the bridges from basically any hill in the City! You get the gist of the steepness when you see the angle that mansion on the corner of Chestnut and Leavenworth’s on! My calves are still burning! Oh! And Wednesday was the first time I saw that huge whale art installation at Crissy! So cool! Gonna run the flat bit to Hopper’s Hands this week and check it out up close! 🐋 #runningdistractions #outdoorfitness #irunsf #sfhills #bernalhill #kezarstadium #presidio #batteriestobluffs #goldengatebridge #ggb #eventhebridgeishilly #coittower #russianhill #sutrotower #crissyfield #whaleart #bernalhillrock #iheartsf #sanfrancisco #fogcityfitclub (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bphr-kmAMxq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e1kbw7qk7q6y

Lovely, non-spare the air day for a change for this morning’s run. The first in a week after being sick for the second time in two months... not fun. The run was fun, not the sick. #sfrunning #irunsf #sfhillrunners #outdoorfitness #runningdistractions #fogcityfitclub #solorun #bernalhill #iheartsf #gooutside #feelinggood #gladtobewell #lastrunsoftheyear (at Bernal Heights Summit)

Loving this clear, ultra-crisp almost winter air! It doesn’t get any fresher! #runningdistractions #outdoorfitness #irunsf #fogcityfitclub (at Golden Gate National Recreation Area)

What an experience! If you asked me to go running a year ago, I would've just laughed. Now, I can't get enough 😅. Thank you everyone that has helped me through this journey. I couldn't have done it without all your love and support💙💛 Now that I got my first marathon in the books...I'm ready for more #sfmarathon #newyearbetterme #nomoreexcuses #irunsf (at S F Marathon 1St Half Finish Line)
