1st Annual Birthday Run for Birthday Fun.

It's summer, and I'm not injured. Finally, my dumb ankle isn't trying to ruin my life, so I ran the hell out of my birthday. 33 miles for 33 years. From the City to the trails.  Lucky for me, it was a cool foggy summer day in the city. I loaded my pack with Gu and Glo bars and took off from the Castro a little after 7am toward the Marina. There's quite a bit of up and down between those two points... I made my way past Crissy Field and on up to the bridge, which, at this early hour, was pretty much empty except for a few cyclists. Karl the Fog out in full force On the other side, I crossed underneath the bridge to pick up the Coastal Trail and start the one mile climb up into the Headlands. I was hoping once I got to the top and made my way to the other side of the hills the fog would clear, but....nope. It was really quiet and a little bit spooky for most of the miles to the beach. I was prepared to round a corner and suprise a mountain lion
