Yesterday.

As I mentioned in last night's post, yesterday was a most beautiful day in the big city. When we first got off of 280 I snapped a picture of the Bay Bridge. 

The city has two bridges, the Golden Gate and the lesser known Bay Bridge. The latter looks more like a normal span {it's not painted a beautiful rusty orange, for one} and is very much so a commuter route. The former is gorgeous and still used daily by commuters but is also a tourist attraction. One can actually walk the span of the bridge {over a mile but less than two} and there's a gift shop and yadda yadda yadda. 
Anyway, behold, the red headed step child of the two San Francisco bridges.
I also surreptitiously took some from-the-car pictures of the SF occupiers.

When we got to our parking spot right by the entrance to the bay this was the sight that greeted us.

Hardly any wind; that never happens folks!

Alcatraz was looking ominous in the distance.

"The Rock".

We geared up which includes this oh-so-haute running belt. 

The labels are explained as follows: 
1 - for Gatorade at the half way point then to be filled with water at drinking fountains. 
2 - pouch for the car key, chapstick and the Gu {I try to have one every five miles or so when it's a long run...they are kind  of gross [think pudding in the middle of a workout] but they're easy and I get a bit of a boost from them; running purists I am sorry to offend you but just deal with it}. 
3 - for water to wash down the Gu with. 
This belt has definitely seen better days; it's on marathon training número dos. I love it though because it really doesn't shake too much. As long as I wear it high up on my waist. But it looks hideous on me, as referenced above by the whohigh-waisted-situation so let's not talk about this anymore.
After our miles we went to Nick's Crispy Tacos and got a post-run feast that we took to Eddie's to share. I had just run a lot and was hungry so please don't judge; here's what Mikey chose to eat compared in length to what I devoured.

Keep in mind that his was a burrito and mine were tacos with much less bulk.
Then we carved pumpkins. This German guy

was very happy to be doing so.
I went for a stencil which I had never done and Eddie went classic.

My face isn't normally this red but I was a bad person and forgot to wear sunblock before running all over he&% and creation yesterday.

As a Bad Wife I forgot to take any of Mike carving his own creation but here we are, an Angry Bird and a Halloween something {girl? fan?}. 

And my creation...

thanks to the $ spot at Target I had some rhinestones to add to it. 

I forgot the final lit-up pictures so I'll give them to you tomorrow in "Marvelous Monday: Halloween edition"!
Enjoy your Sunday folks!
