Marina via Aquatic Park

Later mass today, so we walked to Homeplate on Lombard for breakfast, picked some fruity treats at the Fort Mason Farmer’s market, identified a lovely picnic spot for a future Sunday, and then frolicked in Aquatic Patk. And at the end: literal Flipflops on Filbert from Leavenworth down!

Mission Bay

Walked along the water a bit after the San Pedro party at Mission Rock. Sun setting: loveliness…lots of building…and a Grey’s Anatomy moment when I saw a helicopter land at Benihoff and the stretcher and staff rush out to it 

Civic CenterĀ 

Caught up with my friend Carolyn today for a walk around Civic Center and the Center City Farmer’s Market! Meeting spot was SF’s beautiful City Hall!

10,000

Reaching my October goal of 10,000 steps a day requires mutiple walks throughout the day. Here are some photos of two of the spots I hit on yesterday’s 3 walks (I didn’t think a mid-day walk to Trader Joe’s merited photos). First thing in the morning, I saw the sunrise over the “crooked street” and I had a lovely rainy afternoon walk at Stowe Lake in GG Park. 

Presidio

Walked for an hour in this urban forest today. It was glorious, perhaps mostly because I’d been meaning to do it for 9 years! 

Hyde street

Today’s blog is an homage to my husband, and today’s walk commemorates the 8th anniversary of our first date at 1896 Hyde Street. Luella may be gone, but the corner where he turned and suggested it, and the driveway that he turned into to help me with my broken foot are still decidedly in place! Fun to stroll past these familiar spots today on my WW walk. Happy anniversary, lb!

Back on familiar turf

Great walk at the Seton Provincialate today, as part of the SHC faculty/staff retreat. Moves tells me it was 39 minutes…tip to tip on the far end of the property, plus the lake and the Stations. Saw a huge jack rabbit hopping on one end and a huge buck crossed my path on the other end. A hot, but gorgeous day. Love that place! Loads of fond memories, particularly of Emmitsburg connections, and statues of friends abound all over the property. 

Aquatic Park

Timed walk to the Aquatic Park pier today. Down Taylor to Columbus to the Cannery, then Jefferson out to the pier and back the same way. 52 minutes door to door. Goal: get to 45 minutes by Thanksgiving.
