Comments:
Sent the morning packing up at Carol's. Drove down to SF in the afternoon. Slowly motivated to get out the door and around 4:30 I headed off slowly up to the park. Entered at Park Presidio and looped the plaza at the DeYoung museum. Took a very meandering route down past Stowe Lake, the polo fields (with the usual stop at the restroom there) and past the anglers' club. Reached the ocean just moments after sunset and ran up past the cliff house and around Land's End on the trail until the Legion of Honor. Finished down the golf course slope, past Burke and along California and Clement to 20th. I did loosen up after awhile, but I never felt fast or good the way I sometimes do when running in the park trails. Still, i enjoyed the run quite a bit. Mostly the fantastic, soft trails, wonderful quality of light, mild weather, and general familiarity of the run. Ate Si's feral cow for dinner.
