Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to get back into a routine.  Didn't get in bed til midnight last night and was awakened at 4 am with a call from Singapore.  I was not happy.  We contemplated getting up, but ended up staying in bed until almost 10:00.  Had a noon meeting for a new advisory committee, which was kind of fun, then walk and grocery shopping this afternoon.  Amazing how fast you can kill a day. 

Gave my first talk today about WAO at the bank.  Didn't know I was on the agenda until I got there.  Speaking in public is not my thing, but I guess if I want to convince people that we're raising money for a good cause, I'd better improve real fast.  I didn't embarrass myself or anything today, I just wasn't very comfortable talking and I could have done a much better job.  I'm sure it will get easier as the walk time approaches.  Guess I was hoping I could just walk and somebody else would do the hard part for me. lol

Have a gait analysis early in the morning, then hopefully can get caught up here and find out what's going on with everyone. 

Last day in SF.  We're heading to Napa Valley for a winey kind of day.  Doing the wine train, then a gondola into a vineyard for a tasting.  I've had some very good wine and beer here.  Great trip, but I'll be ready to head home after filling this last square.  I miss my cat. 

Feet are a bit tender today.  Mostly where my toes meet my feet.  Think it was from the steep downhills.  I had a harder time on the downhills than with the climbing yesterday.
 

So I got up this morning and made the executive decision not to do the race.  Actually, last night when I laid all of my crap out, I had so much stuff that I decided it would be a lot more fun if I could take my camera and binoculars and other stuff and go at my pace, rather than race pace.  So, I headed out along the coast for about 9 miles over to seal rocks and the Cliff House then took another 3 trying to find my way back with public transportation.  I was running quite a bit later than I wanted and felt bad because Fred was sitting at the hotel waiting for me and I forgot to take my phone.  I found a nice young man at the bus stop who let me use his phone to call and check in to let him know I was ok.   Got back to the hotel and turned right around and went out for the afternoon riding the F train and checking out some of the more fun neighborhoods - including one where we found 3 older men walking around naked.  One was stretched out in a chair working a crossword puzzle.  Funniest thing ever!  Had dinner at the Franciscian, which was our best food to date.  Good thing we didn't eat there first, or its likely we wouldn't have made it anyplace else.

Great day today and the feet seem to have held up fairly well.  Used my new shoes.

Flight to SF had 45 non-english speaking chinese on board.  It was quite a trip!  Having a great time playing the tourist role in SF.  What  a great place to walk.  So many cool things to see and the people watching is great!  Sea lions, steamed clams, clam chowder in sourdough bread bowl, and Ghiradelli chocolate were today's highlights.  Tomorrow, we have a tour in the morning, then hopefully meeting up with Abbie later in the afternoon.
