April 12, 2007.
16k run from Fisherman's wharf pier 39 to to Golden Gate Bridge (foot, southern end).
15 deg, windy but sunny. Didn't wear the wind jacket, so it was rather chilly. Very beautiful day, and hb was about 10 below usual. Ran mostly on moderate hb (<150).
First stretch from Hyatt hotel to wharf then met crowds from the pier along Jefferson for about 1k. Round the marina and up Fort Mason (quite an incline, but good training for Mt Faber). Long stretch past Crissy Field (former marshland), and down to foot of Golden State Bridge. Intended to go up, but could not find Lincoln drive.
Great views of Alcatraz on way back. 15 deg, windy but sunny. A most enjoyable run.
View from Fort Mason.

Incidentally, this stretch is part of the San Francisco marathon!

Another lovely run the next day, April 13, 2007. This time, made it up all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge. Beautiful view of SF city and Sausalito from the bridge. Lincoln road up (ran by the footpath on the side) was the real test/killer for about 500m. Surprisingly the incline on Golden Gate bridge is manageable. But very windy up on the bridge
At dinner one of the evenings, PT asked me why I ran such long distances (16k). My response: I enjoy the run, especially the scenary and view. To quote a good friend, Brent, there's no better way to see a city!
