Second post today, but trying to establish some new routines, including spending some water time after school each day, either:
Marina
Crissy Field
Baker Beach
Land’s End
Golden Gate Park: Spreckels Lake
Golden Gate Park: Chain of Lakes
Ocean Beach
(New) Sunset Dunes Park
Thornton State Beach
Or today’s quick spot (since I left school late and already have my 10k!): Lake Merced.
10 options: a 2-week cycle! Plus, there’s always Pacifica on the other side of home.
Taking a break from prepping my classroom to grab lunch (green beans, green salad) and take my daily stroll. This is the spot!
I reviewed all my former blogposts this morning—lots of memories on and around Filbert Street. But we have moved to lovely Larchmont and today’s post features some of our flora and fauna (not the noisy coyotes!). Trying to do a sunrise (approx) and sunset (with T after dinner) walk on our block each day.
After a long hiatus, I’m motivated once again to get walking for my health.
Today we explored 2 new (to me) spots in San Mateo while James was at his first Saturday football practice:
(1)Crystal Springs Regional Trail (South of Dam Segment), which was paved, flat, and shorter than expected, so we also went to
(2)Beresford Park near Serra, which had lovely roses and redwoods
It all started in a hurricane and this little lady has been leaving her mark ever since. She is a great teacher, a great friend, a wonderful mother, a loving wife and an inspiration to many after losing 106 lbs. She is far from being done as she grows more beautiful, touches more lives and keeps evolving.
Happy birthday to our girl; Leenie the Queenie, Mama, LB, 88!!!!!!!
Positively awful conference on faith and science on Monday. Only saving graces were (a) being with Anne and SHC colleagues, (b) running into old friends like Chris Valdez and Ken Swan, and (c) strolling the beautiful grounds, which reminded me very much of Sacred Heart Atherton.
Checked out this lovely state park on our way to the RS department party in Benecia. Beautiful Bay views (including of my least favorite bridge across the bay) and a fun time watching some friendly fishermen. Made a quick stop also to check out the Botanical Garden. Lovely local gems.
Even on a typically cold and foggy “summer” day in SF, I love the area around the Park/Beach Chalet: the WPA murals, the windmill in GG Park, and Ocean Beach, of course. Great walk there with my favorites this morning.
Picked up my 13,500 today without leaving the neighborhood! Back and forth to school twice (once with Mary Bear) 3 hours at Bosco’s basement, around Washington Square Park, then errands on Bay Street (Goodwill drop-off, DeLise icey treats, Safeway for yogurt, Trader Joe’s for the usuals) ending in this lovely view of an early moon rising over the icons of North Beach: Coit Tower and Sts. Peter and Paul!
