Tour around San Francisco

Went on a longer than planned run around a quarter of San Francisco (see map). The run up Divisadero was annoying because there were traffic lights on every single intersection...and it was a LONG street! But it was great to be able to run at sea level and not have any oxygen issues one would have at 12,000 feet higher in the air. While mountain running has its benefits and never-ending fantastic views, it was a nice treat to run along the cliffs of the Bay and Pacific Ocean. It was also great to be able to run along a dirt path (except for the expected street runs) almost most of the way. SFers are pretty darn lucky! I made it back after 16.7 miles with a surprising elevation gain of 2876 feet (aside from Divisidero, I didn't feel like I went up a hill) in a total time of 3:10 (including buying a gatorade at a store and snapping pictures).
