May 14, 2011: Morning Run Club, Lyon Street Steps Revisited
A small group for the morning run club at lululemon Cow Hollow today. Since tomorrow is Bay to Breakers, I was hoping to do a lighter 4mi option, but nope… Lyon Street steps… dum dum dum!! 
Ashley led the group, just six of us on an interesting and fun route (4.6mi) filled with hills, stairs, and parks. I remembered the last time I did the Lyon St. steps and I overexerted myself on the first flight of stairs and completely died by the time I got to the top. So this time, I took it slower, just stepping two steps at a time instead of running up. This allowed me to keep going after reaching the top.
At the top of the first flight of steps (at Vallejo St), there was several exercise groups working out up there. It’s interesting that this is a mini hub for exercise groups and trainers. Definitely a fun place to get your sweat on. From there we went towards the Alta Plaza park and then towards Lafayette park before heading downhill back to the store. Sprinted the last few blocks towards the store, which was nice after dealing with all the hills.
