China Town, Lombard St & Hoit Tower

Well I ran a different route this morning and this is what I saw....

China Town

Lombard Street

Hoit Tower

It was a pretty sweet run I must say. I was a little bummed because my watch lost satellite reception for a little while after Lombard street, but once I got to the top of hoit tower I waited until it found satellite connection before I left.

Also, I didn't realize how hilly SF is once you get away from the ocean. It is an incredibly steep climb up the hill from my hotel to the top of Nod Hill and I was huffin and puffin. My watch says I only went about
