Flying to SFO tomorrow for the Super Bowl, where to run in Frisco, Berkeley, Silicon Valley?

Run from the Alpine Inn in Portola Valley

Lands end, marina green, chrissy field, marin headlands, golden gate park, embarcadero.

Phenomenal running at all of the spots and all right in the city (besides marin headlands which is right over golden gate bridge).

Shoreline Park

You need to work a little bit on your English comprehension. The OP could be "flying to SFO tomorrow" for something that's months away.

He means "flying to SFO for the purpose of . . . ."

I didn't have any trouble with it, but then I belong to a generation where we parsed sentences before wrongly complaining.

Good places to run in Frisco are mostly snow covered right now. The ten-mile bike path up to Wheeler Junction is good in the summer, but not now. The path south to Breckenridge is OK, and occasionally plowed. Dillon Dam Road is a fairly safe bet. Better yet, go to a Nordic Center and try out skate skiing. It's a great workout, and lots of spandex clad hotties.

Don't know much about Berkeley or Silicon Valley, as I'm from Colorado.

Due the use of the word "Frisco" this thread has been reported.

But just in case it services I suggest a run through the Castro in your shortest running shorts.

super bowl, like weed? wrote:

Berkeley Hills / Tilden Park

San Francisco - Golden gate park (GGP), land's end, presidio, chrissy field, and along Ocean from GGP to lake merced if you want go a little longer

Silicon Valley? Drive to stanford area or get up to trails on skyline

Marin Headlands, Tennessee Valley, Dipsea trail, trails trails everywhere

bon tempe lake, alpine lake, kent lake trails etc

endless

don't bring pants, you won't need them

Berkeley Hills / Tilden Park / Redwood Regional (great long run on fire road. Park at Redwood Regional, and run to the left. You can also loop back up to the observatory. Which would be to the right.

The trails in rancho san Antonio are not muddy at all currently, but one is closed indefinitely due to this mountain lion

I once bought a new car. Well, it wasn't new, but I just bought it, so it felt new. One door panel had been replaced, so my white car had a red door. It looked like a giant Tylenol.

As I pulled into my driveway, I saw a giant goat in the garage. I thought, "Good Grannies alive, what's that goat doing in here?" It was then that my wife stepped out of the front door and asked what was going on. I said, "There's a goat in the garage!" "A goat in the garage?" "Yeah, a goat in the garage."

Wouldn't you know it, our cat came out of the kitty door. He started going, "Meow, meow, meow!" All crazy like. Then the goat turned its attention to the cat food dish and started chowing down like a horse (well, more like a goat, really). "Meow!" Cat's still going crazy.

I thought about the situation, and decided then and there that if I ever want to PR in the marathon again, I've GOT to increase my mileage!

over the years driving for lunch i seen some fast chicks and dudes flying down the roads and sidewalks in flats on middlefield rd in mountain view. i don't know who they are but they aren't hobbyjoggers at that freakin pace.

Which trail is closed?

But damn, best trails to run in Sunny California?

I'm jealous. You made me think the super bowl was this weekend. Are you a super fan using all their vacation to get their more than a week ahead?

You must run Lake Merced when in SFO. Beautiful. On a map here:

Why don't you just fly to san Jose? The super bowl is not in SF.

Don't call it Frisco or San Fran. You sound like a redneck.

Do you call Dallas Dal or Denver Den? St Louis Saint Lou? It doesn't take that much more effort to say San Francisco.

And yes, I was born in The City, Children's Hospital in 1945.

You can't go wrong running in Golden Gate, down Sunset Blvd 2 miles to Lake Merced for a four and a half mile loop. You can get a 6-7 mile run entirely in GGP by running the perimeter trails. Lots of trails in the park. And it's beautiful.

Yes, as a Bay Area native we simply call it The City. Over in the East Bay by Fremont/Newark there's Coyote Hills and the Alameda Creek Path. Garin Park in the Hayward Hills.

It's so cold here on the East Coast, I wish I could vacation in Frisco this time of year. Have a nice run.

Correct, the locals prefer "San Fran". I recommend going to the mission district and asking for the best spots to eat in San Fran. You are likely to get invited to a home cooked dinner.

Wrong...the locals don't like San Fran or Frisco...it's either The City or San Francisco.
