(*This is one of my favorite songs to run to. Love, love it.)

Started my day with a jog down to Fort Mason, along the water, out and back along a little jetty just north of Ghirardelli Square. The jetty/pier is basically just a winding stretch of concrete, littered with trash, grafitti, and signs prohibiting the catching of Dungeness crab (we saw someone get busted by the Crab Police last week).

It encloses an expanse of water in front of Ghirardelli Square and the maritime museum, and sometimes you'll see (crazy) people swimming laps there. For the most part this morning it was just me and a collection of pigeons and saucy sea gulls. No swimmers, but there were a couple of small sailboats out.

This is a good part of the run. No hills, just straightforward out onto the water. I like the hardness and non-quaintness of the pier. And when you get out to the end, you can look towards the city in one direction:

And towards the GG bridge in the other direction (if you squint you can just make it out in this photo. Its the reddish thing):

And in between there's Alcatraz (which I didn't get a shot of this am), making the 360 view a sort of 'best of.'
