On The Lam

Golden Gate GuyOn this very unwinterlike sunny and warm day, how could I not go for a long run, and how could I not bring my camera? With a special "Law and Order" Playlist on the iPod (examples: Jailbreak, Running from the Devil, I Fought the Law and the Law Won, Have Mercy on the Criminal, Folsom Prison Blues, Jailhouse Rock), I did my favorite run along the waterfront up to (but not including) the Golden Gate Bridge.

The mental game this run was "On The Lam." I imagined the fuzz were after me, and my quick sprinting was all that kept me from getting busted. Hey, I know it's crazy, but a runner's gotta keep motivated with such mind games!

Sailing ... takes me away ...

log, dog, no fog Fetch, Fido! A Visitor's Center that really has a breathtaking view Downtown A gull's eye view Not a cloud in the ... well, one cloud in the sky. Sweat Saver Lean back farther ... farther ... A couple of chicks Surf's down, fishin's up! Framed! Alcatraz! My City by the Bay Rock and Roll! Orange and Blue Note: Cliffs Nothin' but blue sky do I see Point the camera at Fort Point Splash! The turnaround sign (almost) under the bridge the little-seen underside Belly of the Beast Rusty old Fort Point lighthouse Lonely Lighthouse The City from Fort Point There's no place like home Why aren't you out sailing? For only the toughest prisoners - not the alleged camera stealers! Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay No more '06 fires ... ever! Spring is on the way! Lovers in the park One last glimpse

Jasmine - I've heard about your kind ... peeking out of the water, singing your seductive siren song to men who are unaware of the dangerous beauty ahead ...

Miz B - "She" meaning San Francisco? Yes, she is sooo beautiful! (As is Jasmine, if that's the "she" you noted!)

Jasmine is all for you my friend! I only have eyes for San Francisco! You and the fuzz are included!

What happened with the cops?!?!?

Yorkshire Pudding said...

Great pictures - seeing San Francisco from a resident's point of view. Who needs to even go jogging when we can sit on our tired asses and see your running pics? Thanks.

Hello Freethinker....I am just swimming through. Thank you so much, you make me feel so at home here. I love this cool water, I will be swimming here often.

::slipping out now::

Miz B - Bom-ba-bom-bom...Bom-ba-bom-bom-BAAH... Case closed!

Yorkie - That's right! Sit back and run vicariously through FreeThinker! No sweatband required!

Jasmine - I'll be looking for you to pop out of the San Francisco Bay on my future runs!
