Misty run through the Presidio
7:20 to 8:23pm.
guessing about 5 miles.
in the twilight, heavy fog. a great cooling mist.
I ran down Lake to 30th, swung down El Camino Del Mar and the down Lincoln into the Presidio. Ran through the Baker Beach parking lot, where 5-6 boys on scooters hailed the 29 bus, but then didn't get on. Their ringleader had a gasoline powered scooter. He said something as I ran by, but I have no idea what.
Ran up Pershing Drive, and then had to cut through the Presidio volunteers area. Pershing is a steep hill--I'd be better off going one more street to the zig-zag up... Washington Drive. Anyway, up Wedermeyer to Washington (past the California Quail crossing sign) and then really started to hit my stride. I lengthened my stride all across the Presidio, and then headed into the woods on the dirt trail. Out by the golf course and down Arguello back to Lake and 4th Ave.
I listened to a mix of Snow Patrol and Ambulance, which is actually great running music. I'm hooked on a Snow Patrol song called "Run". Listened to it twice during the run.
I think that was about a 5 mile run. Pretty happy. Showertime.
Oh, I started with the new Ascics shoes with the arch supports. Hated it. Turned around at 9th avenue and came back for my Brooks. Need to figure that out.
