Oh my gosh, SF has the greatest food in the world. I wish I could remember the name of the place where I used to get my Indian food when I lived in the city but I completely forget. I know it’s in The Mission though!
Good luck! You are going to kill this race!
I walked the bridge once and it was wonderful! My favorite place in SF to eat is Cha Cha Cha – a Spanish/Mexican/Cuban place with the best sangria and quesadillas!
i have always wanted to go to SF, but have never been!
Ahhh, the bridge pic gave me chills! So excited/nervous/peeing myself. See you at NWM :) Best of luck!
YAY for San Fran! I can’t wait. I can’t possibly pick just one favorite food memory from SF. I have been there so many times and every time is just as delicious as the last!!
SF is the BEST! I live about an hour from there. I LOVE going to little hole-in-the-wall type places off the embarcadero. Have a wonderful time!
TARTINE! http://www.tartinebakery.com/ It is probably two miles at the most from Union Square… a simple run, a longer walk, or take the “F” streetcar on Market Street (it’s above ground the whole way) and then walk down Guerrero to 16th Street.
good luck in san fran! man, they have good food in the whole dang city.
I took nutrition and love reading your mini nutrition quizzes! So fun :) Hah, I am a nerd!
I am currently tapering right now, and I am focusing on my mindset and continuing to think positive about the race! My parents used to live in SF before I was born, but I’ve never been. Have fun!
You must visit sometime! Have a great race — positive thinking is the key to everything :)
You are going to have an amazing race this weekend. Be aware: at the start in the city, it can get warm, but you’ll make a turn into the Presidio after you see the GG Bridge and the temps dropped last year. Have a layer you can wrap around your waist to take on and off if you need to.
You’re going to do great! Enjoy it – there is lots to do. I’ll be at the Run Like a Mother talk in the center of the expo at 9:30am on Saturday.
Wait – you’re doing the Nike half aren’t you? I know a few other bloggers are running as well… we really should try and all meet up on Saturday!
Yes, I am! Not sure what time I’ll be getting into The City Saturday, but I’ll def be at the expo :)
I’ve never been to SF! Would love to get to the west coast one day though.
I am so jealous you get to go to SF :(
I wanted to go so bad for FB, but I just can’t afford it right now!
