Week 37 Recovery! Tine Visits
June 19-25
I love recovery weeks!
A couple weeks ago, my sister called to check in for a good date to visit where I might be able to spend time with her rather than spending all my time training, so I pulled out the old training schedule to look for an easier week. Turned out my "recovery week" coincided with her last week of teaching at school and the date was set. We both needed those few days of recovery: her from a year of teaching 2nd graders and me from the routine of training.
Fortunately for both of us, the week turned out to have the best weather forecast yet for San Francisco with no clouds or fog and temperatures in the high 70's to low 80's. It was probably one of the only weeks where we could lie out at Ocean Beach in our swimsuits and be comfortable. So, thanks to my sister, I was able to take some time away from my computer where I would have been and instead walked in Sausalito, toured around San Francisco, and visited Angel Island. She accompanied me to some evening training sessions and walked at the Coyote Reservoir along the trail along on Saturday morning while I ran with the Ironteam. It was great to have her around and be able to talk and catch up...very rejuvenating!
Here are some pics from her visit:
We spent the evening of her arrival toasting to her summer vacation.
Another day, we walked around Sea Cliff, Cow Hollow, and visited both China and Ocean Beach. You can tell she's a serious beach walker.
Near Ocean Beach, we encountered some wildlife and figured out this ground hog liked clovers. Notice the full cheeks? We picked patches of clovers and deposited them by this hole where he gathered them up.
For a visit to Angel Island, I cut my training short on Friday, but it was worth it. This is the view from the road around the island.
We spent the day there by taking a leisurely bike ride, having a picnic, and strolling around the island. To get there and back from San Francisco, we had to take a ferry ride from Pier 41. Life is tough, huh?!
