As I mentioned in yesterday’s blog post, I went for a walk in San Francisco on Monday. A long walk! It began with breakfast at Java Beach Café at 45th & Sloat. After a hearty bowl of oatmeal with dried cranberries, I ventured the few blocks down to the beach — to the Sunset Dunes Recreation Area, a two-miles stretch of road which used to be known as The Great Highway. The 2-mile stretch of road is now closed to cars and dedicated exclusively to walkers, runners, bikers, skaters, and dog walkers. By the time I began my journey, it was 9:00 and already close to 70º. Due to strong winds (sustained at 15 mph with gusts up to 30 mph), the visibility was extraordinary.

Today’s blog post is a PhotoBlog, supported by as few words as possible. I hope you enjoy it.

Yes,… 40,000+ steps — 20 miles… in one day. In all, it took ten hours. I returned to my car at 7:00 p.m., exhausted, yet exhilarated. When I went to bed Monday night, I wasn’t sure how I would feel when I woke up on Tuesday morning. After a good 8-hour snooze, however, I woke up feeling surprisingly well, and still quite exhilarated.

Walking in San Francisco. There’s nothing like it!
