15km & ~2k' in #Marin 8/31 to finish #August at 216km & 7116m. Grateful for a month of consistent training at home.
Traveling a lot soon — HMU to #run in Portland @XOXO, Fukuoka @W3C #TPAC2019, Amsterdam @IndieWebCamp #ViewSource, NYC & Brighton IndieWebCamps, London #MozFest, St. Louis @WordCampUS #WCUS!
August was also a monthly distance running PR and my second highest vertical climbing month after last October’s 207km & 8932m (also only my second time running 200km+ or climbing 5km+ in any month).
Got a late start that morning and drove myself directly to the Tennessee Valley parking lot. Having forgotten to check the #SFRC route direction, I ran the opposite way again, up Fox with less fog(2) than last week, down Coastal to an ominously overcast Muir Beach(3). Touched the water(4) and noticed blue skies in the distance to the Northwest(5). I cut the route short via the beautiful Middle Green Gulch trail up to Coyote Ridge. From the Coyotoe Ridge peak(6) I could see the North side of Muir beach, and a thin blue line of clear Pacific Ocean over the clouds(1). Looking south the city was still covered by fog, just a few buildings and Sutro tower poking through(7). Ran back down Miwok(8) to the Tennessee Valley parking lot and up/down a bit of Marincello to reach 15km.
I’ll be making good use of the few September and October mornings I’m home and joining up with runners (especially on trails) on my travels when missing Marin #trails(9).

Tantek ()'s status on Tuesday, 20-Aug-2019 02:51:00 EDT Tantek 🌞🌳🌊🌁 #Sunday #longrun! Ran 14+ miles on tired legs.
Planned to do a half marathon after Saturday’s 11 miles of Marin trails, ended up a mile-ish more. Slow start, but drank/fueled and felt pretty strong in the second half of Golden Gate Park. Spreckels lake sparkled in the sunshine(2). Reached the beach(1) and felt encouraged to go further. Ran up to the Sutro Baths for a beautiful view(3) and thru Lands End for a clear view of the Golden Gate!(4)
Happened to look upward in the Sea Cliff neighborhood and see an old air raid siren(5). Against the deep blue sky it reminded me of Depeche Mode’s Music For The Masses:
By the time I ran up Lincoln Boulevard to the bridge, Karl the Fog had enveloped the tops of the towers(6). Ran down to the Warming Hut for another view(7) and over to Crissy Field Marsh(8).
Struggled up the final climb to the Presidio, and up to the top of Arguello Blvd, then easy cruising all the way home.
25+ mile weekend done! ✅

Tantek ()'s status on Sunday, 11-Aug-2019 02:32:00 EDT Tantek It’s not always sunshine and flowers. Sometimes it’s endless #fog. Or miscommunication and isolation. Still grateful for 11 miles and nearly 2k' at #SFRCto #MuirBeach(1) and back.
We can choose to be frustrated or grateful. To blame (ourselves, others), or be patient, accepting, and choose to be the best we can in the circumstances. We can anticipate conflict, or be open to hope and reconnection. It starts inside with the outlook we choose, and manifests with the words and actions we choose.

Tantek ()'s status on Monday, 05-Aug-2019 02:51:00 EDT Tantek ⛰☁️ 10 miles at #SFRCSaturday: #runninginto #fog, up Old Springs #trail(1), down #Miwok, exploring a bit, returning on the same trail. Ran into Katie & Morgan(2) on the way down as they were on their way back up. Noticed yellow #flowersalong the end of Miwok, now well below the fog which hid distant #hills(3). #nofilter, just natural soft lighting on a well made ciabatta breakfast sandwich(4). All smiles sitting in the sun at Good Earth(5), a brief break from #Fogust.

Tantek ()'s status on Wednesday, 17-Jul-2019 02:33:00 EDT Tantek #trailtuesdaythrowback to #running up Mt. Tam last Thursday with Krissi! We saw #deer(2). Krissi snapped photos as I ran/power hiked #uphill(3). We took selfies at the top, one with Mt Diablo poking through the #clouds(1), and another facing the #morning #sun(4).
San Francisco was shrouded in #fog, the tip of Sutro Tower barely poking through(5). The #sun was already high above the clouds at 07:29(6). On the way down we also saw an egret(7)! No PR but did set my second best time up the mountain. That and no falls this time. I’ll take it.

Tantek ()'s status on Sunday, 02-Jun-2019 02:56:00 EDT Tantek ☁️⛰☁️ Summer is coming. 10+ miles of #SFRC#trailrunthis morning under and through thick #fog. Miwok cut-off trail (1) with fog above, ahead, and below (2). Fox trail at the start: looking back downhill (3) and looking ahead uphill (4) appear similar thanks to fog blocking the sky and any distant hills. Temperatures lower than usual. Our #SanFranciscosummer is coming.
