Buena Vista Park

Friday Favorites

February 11, 2011 by Kristy 1 Comment

No run today.  I’m resting up for my 13-15 miler tomorrow.  Seems silly but my legs are tired from running yesterday and then walking all around SF (up lots of hills, like crazy steep hills).

Steps are needed to get up this hill
I think I'd be terrified to park

Lots of bloggers do “Friday Favorites” where they list some of their favorite things (running and non-running related).  I figured I’d give it a try and maybe break up the monotony of my non-stop running talk?!  I’m sure running will weave its way into some of my favorite things.

So for the first edition of Friday Favorites, I’ll do it up San Fran style 🙂

1.  Buena Vista Park – Matt and I stumbled upon this park back in 2005.  It’s in the Haight-Ashbury section of the city.  You walk up this winding hill to unbelievably spectacular views of the city.  We went back on Wednesday for a visit (birthday girl’s request).  These pictures do NOT do it justice.

2.  Niketown – I’m definitely a Nike girl and the Nike store in SF is amazing.  I stop in every time I’m here.  We went there on Thursday and I made Matt feel completely awkward and asked him to take pictures (do it for the blog, Matt).

Me, Kara, and her armpit

3.  Golden Gate Bridge – Looking at this bridge never gets old.  Running over it is amazing.  Running along Crissy Field and coming just underneath it is amazing.

Heading to Sausalito today!
