Week 2: Running schedule

After my partying like a rock star (not) wine post on Saturday, I am now posting my running schedule.

A little background ~ I have been into fitness for 20 years; and now at age 40 I decided to run a 10K marathon. The most running I have done was 5K on trails or baseball/soccer fields (and it's a struggling 5K). Friday was the first time I have run 4 miles and I was quite proud of myself.

I decided to push the envelope and register for this 10K mermaid run in San Francisco. I am nervous but I know I can do it.

Anyway, I modified a training schedule that I found online to suit my schedule and I have under 4 weeks left. Today I am taking a flexibility class at my gym for the over-exerciser and plan to do that every Sunday. I can't do my long runs on Saturday so I do them on Fridays.

For cross/strength I do mix in a lot of heavy weight training because I love weight training, but I will and I throw in some fun cardio machines and classes at the gym.

My mother gave me some advice and she asked me 'how do I picture my life ~ what makes me happy', so that is what I am doing and actually the point of this blog.

I picture myself as an athlete and that is what I am going to start doing. I have a lot more living spree things planned so stay tuned!

Fisherman Wharf outing with DS


We took the street car to Fisherman's Wharf and had a great lunch

Alcatraz ~ It was a sunny day, high 60s in the city

The sea lions hang out here, but there weren't that many; I think they disappear for food

The famous cannery, built in 1907, use to be the largest peach cannery

Historic ships at Hyde Pier

DS had so much fun on board this 1886 square-rigged ship


From the ferryboat, Eureka... just reminds me of some movie

A little dingy

Famous Buena Vista... Irish Coffee anyone?



Lovely day... we had SO much fun



Our last stop was the Ferry Building and Bay Bridge. We then walked along Market street and headed home.
