SUNDAY'S COURSE!
In
short, we will head NORTH from the Marina Green Monkey Bars on along
Marina Boulevard until we reach the intersection of Mason/Halleck . This
is 1 MILE!
Continue running on the paved path along Mason past
SportsBasement. Shortly after we pass SportsBasement, there is a lengthy
straight stretch and a funny looking metal power box on your RIGHT. This is 1.5 MILES!
Run past the 1.5 mile mark along the
paved path. Eventually the path curves over to the right and merges with
a dirt/fire road that heads towards the Warming Hut (for the
uninitiated, the Warming Hut is A BIG WHITE BUILDING WITH TABLES AND
BENCHES IN FRONT OF IT. Hopefully, it will be hard to miss). The Warming
Hut is 2 MILES!
Continue past the Warming Hut onto a paved road that
goes past a series of buildings (including some restrooms). You will
pass these buildings and continue running along this path next to the
water towards the base of the bridge. The path curves around and dead
ends at 'Hoppers Hands'. This is 2.5 MILES. Turn around here and head back to the monkey bars for 5 MILES!

Saturday's Long Run Course Description (9/6/14)
We'll be running through Golden Gate Park for Sunday's run. a few things to keep in mind before I dive into the details:
1)You will be running gradually uphill for the first half of your run! This course isn't terribly steep, but there is a GRADUAL uphill for much of the first half of the run. Keep this in mind as you may need to dial back your pacing a bit when you head out.
2)Watch your footing! There's a reasonable amount of this run that will take place on a dirt path/fire road. This means small rocks, tree roots (sometimes), and uneven ground at times. I don't want to see anyone take a tumble. Stay tuned in! This is particularly important for those of you who wear MP3 PLAYERS! Stay particularly alert on the RETURN when you will likely be a bit fatigued and traveling gradually DOWNHILL!
3)Water Stops. Roughly a mile into the run (not too far after you pass the Bison Paddocks on the left) there is water fountain on the LEFT adjacent to Lake Spreckles. Also there is a water fountain at the intersection of JFK/Transverse on the LEFT side of JFK. These descriptions will make more sense once you read my course description below.
Ok, enough of the preamble. Let's get down to it! Here is a link to the course map-
Saturday's Long Run Course Map
Below is a description of the route:
B-5 MILES.
We will head NORTH from the Beach Chalet and promptly take a right turn to get onto JFK. You will run along the dirt path for about a quarter of a mile until you come to a stop sign. Turn LEFT at this stop sign at the pedestrian crosswalk onto the dirt path running along JFK.
You will continue running along this path for some time. As you close in on the first mile you will see the 'Bison Paddock' on your left. Shortly after you pass the paddock, you will see Lake Spreckles on the left. If you need water, cross the pedestrian crosswalk over to Lake Spreckles and you will see the water fountain on your left.
Continue running on the dirt path for close to a mile and you will eventually come to a 4 way stop at the intersection of JFK/Transverse. This is roughly 2 miles. If you cross over to the LEFT side of JFK, you will find another water fountain. *NOTE-IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU STAY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PATH FOR THIS RUN! IT IS OK TO CROSS OVER TO THE LEFT FOR H20, BUT GET BACK OVER TO THE RIGHT SIDE TO CONTINUE YOUR RUN!
Continue running on the RIGHT side of JFK for roughly half a mile. You will see a large funky looking building approaching on the right. This is DeYoung Museum. Additionally, you should see a crosswalk cutting across JFK. Keep your eyes peeled for a ‘MM 5’ in the middle of the paved path you’re on. This is 2.5 miles! Beginner level runners will turn around here and head back to the Beach Chalet for 5 MILES!!
I-6 MILES.
Everyone else will continue running on the RIGHT side of the dirt path past JFK/Transverse for roughly a mile. You will see a stop sign and traffic joining JFK from 'Conservatory Way'. (this is just prior to the Flower Observatory) There is a pedestrian crosswalk here. THIS IS 3 MILES! LOOK FOR A 'MM 6' IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PATH (The path is paved at this juncture). Intermediate runners will turn around here and head back to the Beach Chalet for 6 MILES!!
A-7 MILES.
Advanced and Race level runners will CROSS OVER TO THE LEFT SIDE OF JFK AT THE 'MM 6' MARK. Run past the Flower Observatory and follow JFK all the way to STANYAN. This is a controlled intersection with traffic lights. Once you get to JFK/Stanyan, this is 3.5 miles. Turn around here and head back to the Beach Chalet for 7 MILES!
R-9 MILES.
Race runners will run through the intersection of JFK/Stanyan and onto the panhandle (the strip of land that runs between Oak/Fell). Run on the RIGHT side of the Panhandle!
Continue running along Oak Street to the end of the Panhandle. From here you will continue running along the sidewalk on Oak Street until you reach the intersection of Oak/Scott. Turn around here and head back to the Beach Chalet for 9 MILES!

A Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with a Single Step . . .
-->
I stared at the digital clock on my car’s dashboard
anxiously for the fifteenth time. I had a meeting with my boss in five minutes.
In five minutes, my life would change irrevocably. I would become someone else.
I reflected on the twelve months I had spent preparing for
this moment. I’d moved out of my one bedroom apartment and into a glorified
dining room in an effort to downsize. I’d erased all my credit card debt. I had
socked away $15,000 in case of an emergency.
I’d seemingly done all the practical, rational
things one could do in preparation for leaving their job, but was I really
ready for this?
I had spent just a hair over five years working for Gap Inc.
I had been promoted, seen my salary increase, but I was miserable. The truth is,
it wasn’t Gap, it was me. I didn’t belong there and I grew weary of acting like
I did. The real me was dying a slow and painful death.
If you have
to take Zoloft and Ativan just to get through the day, something is a bit wrong. It was during this time that running became my refuge, as it had
been when I first discovered it (or it discovered me), fifteen years ago.
Fifteen years ago, I was an angst-ridden teen. Rather than
drink, party, and rebel, I ran. When I was stressed, I ran. When I was scared,
I ran. When I was sad, I ran. It had always provided solace.
It had always
helped me when I was in trouble. When the world was falling apart around me, I
had running. Fifteen years later, starting at the digital clock on my car’s
dashboard, I felt like running.
There were countless unknowns in front of me. I had no
business plan. I had no experience starting my own business. I did not know how
tough it would be. While I was committed to leaving, I did not have all the
answers.
I did know that I could not invest any more time in an
endeavor that made me feel ineffectual and disconnected. I didn’t like my work.
I didn’t like many of the people I was working with, I didn’t see a future, and I
didn’t like the me I was becoming.
During those last five minutes, my mind raced to find the one
thing that would finally put all my lingering doubts, fears, and imagined
disasters to rest. Finally, the one thought I needed bubbled to the surface.
The thought was, “if I don’t do this, if I don’t at least
try, I will regret it for the rest of my life.” I couldn’t live with this
regret. I had to at least try something bold, jettison the conventional path,
and stretch beyond what I thought I was capable of doing.
This is what running is all about. You have to step into the
unknown. You have to challenge your perception of what you are capable of doing.
There really is no other way to approach running. Having a touch of the crazy is
also helpful.
Jettisoning the comforts of a decent, if not bland,
corporate gig to launch your business requires all of the aforementioned . . . particularly
the crazy part. I had been a runner for over ten years and I knew on some level
the lessons I learned as a runner would come in handy for my business endeavor,
which I called “Marathon Matt-Personal Coaching for Runners.”
As I got out of my car and walked towards my office, I
realized what I was doing wasn’t just about creating a business, it was about
pursuing a higher calling. Any lingering doubts I had drifted away with each
stride I took towards my office. I wasn’t running
away from something, but that I was running towards something that could change
people’s lives.
I didn’t know exactly how I was going to do it, but I knew
my passion for the act of running was as intense as anything I’d ever felt. I
would find a way. Running would be the vehicle.
The best runs I’ve ever had have often involved some element
of the unknown. The knowledge that unknown challenges lie ahead forces me to be
alert, creative, and quick on my feet. I thought similarly of my
fledgling business – if I stayed alert, creative, and quick on my feet, I’d
likely survive.

Determination's FINAL Long Run!
We'll launch our LONGEST run of the season from our normal rendezvous
point at the Marina Promenade. We'll head West on the Promenade towards
the Warming Hut. Upon reaching the Warming Hut, you will run past the
Warming Hut and take an IMMEDIATE left to head towards LONG AVENUE. Long Avenue is effectively a short hill that heads up towards Lincoln.
Everyone will head up Long Avenue along the shoulder until you reach a stop sign. This is LINCOLN. Take a right on to the paved cyclist/pedestrian path and follow this path to your right.
The path will eventually curve to your left and dead ends. At this point you need to make your way onto the shoulder of Lincoln. Head uphill on the shoulder of Lincoln for roughly 200 meters. Look to your right and you will see the parking lot for the visitor center for the GGB. Turn RIGHT into this parking lot and head towards the Golden Gate Bridge.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL ON THE BRIDGE! THERE ARE TYPICALLY A REASONABLE NUMBER OF TOURISTS WHO AREN'T PAYING ATTENTION ON THE BRIDGE. ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE CYCLISTS, RUNNERS, AND PEDESTRIANS FREQUENTLY USING THE BRIDGE. BE SMART AND BE POLITE IF YOU NEED TO GET AROUND SOMEONE.
Everyone will continue to the end of the bridge to the Visitor Center. This is roughly 3 MILES. Stop here to grab some water, use the restroom, and/or take a gel, clif shot, etc. Everyone will turn around here and return to our starting point.
To pick up your remaining miles, you will head EAST on the Marina Promenade past the East Beach. Eventually the promenade runs into the parking lot for the volleyball courts. Cut through the volleyball courts and get onto Marina Boulevard.
Turn LEFT on Marina Boulevard and run along Marina Boulevard past the Marina Safeway. Continue up Fort Mason Hill and head down into Aquatic Park on the left. Run through Aquatic Park along the sidewalk until it ends in a cul-de-sac at the edge of Fisherman's Wharf. There is a water found to the left of the cul-de-sac if you need to make a pitstop. Turn around here and head back to the start of our run for 11 MILES!

I run because I can..
Years ago, I had the great fortune to work briefly with an Olympic development coach. Tom Dowling was a mysterious, enigmatic character who first expressed interest in me via handwritten notes he passed me after a few of my races in high school.
No one took an interest in me the way Tom did. He seemed to see something in me that no one else did. Maybe it was talent. Maybe it was potential. Maybe it was passion. I'm guessing it was a little of all of the aforementioned.
My time with Tom was all too brief as my family moved across the country six months after I met him. But, one of the things that Tom said to me stuck with me LONG after I had ceased to run competitively. Tom simply said, 'Matt, I think you'd be a great marathoner some day.'
At the time he delivered this message, I couldn't have been more than 16 years old. I had run as much as ten miles, but no more than this. The idea of covering 26.2 miles was staggering, let alone the idea of being great at it.
Years passed and my love affair with running waned following high school. After graduating from college, I found myself a bit confused about what the next step was for me. As had been the case in high school, running became a refuge of sorts.
I had no illusions about running competitively, I merely got out on the road and logged a few miles to clear my head, manage stress, and perhaps find some clarity of purpose. Memories of Tom started bubbling to the surface and his idea that I'd be a great marathoner kept coming up.
I started thinking more and more about the distance that had allegedly killed Phidippides. Eventually, I started doing longer runs. I had covered nearly 20 miles once in high school. I'd also been pretty resistant to injuries in high school only suffering a sprained ankle during a trail run once. Maybe running a marathon wasn't so far fetched of an idea.
But, it had been seven years since I had run 20 miles. It had also been nearly seven years since I'd done any kind of substantive, regular running. My body let me know in no uncertain terms that things were different. Things had changed.
A few weeks before taper I sustained a complete compression fracture of the left femoral head. Pins were inserted into my hip to stabilize the fracture. If the fracture displaced, I'd likely contract avascular necrosis and the hip would die. I'd have to have hip replacement surgery for the rest of my life if this happened.
This stark message from my body put everything in perspective. My new goal was to not contract avascular necrosis. Screw the marathon. If I was lucky, maybe I'd be able to run again. I had always taken for granted my ability to run. Now, for the first time in my life I was reminded that my ability to do it at all was a gift.
Several months passed and the pain from my fracture and the subsequent surgery gradually waned. Walking became less painful and fleeting thoughts of running again entered my mind. Would I be able to run again? Had this gift been taken from me permanently? There was only one way to find out.
I laced up my shoes and walked to Golden Gate Park. For the first time in months, I attempted to run. I felt awkward and stiff, but there was no pain to speak of as I ran through the park. My plan was to simply to cover a single mile. I listened intently to the messages my body was sending me for any sign of distress or pain.
Before I knew it, I had covered nearly a mile. Without warning, my eyes started welling up and I found myself choking back a sob with the realization that a gift I had taken for granted was still there. I would run again. How far or how fast, I had no idea. But, running would be a part of my life a bit longer.
12+ years later, running is still with me. I've gone further and faster than I ever imagined possible. I still have many running goals, but the biggest is simply to continue doing it as long as possible. At the end of the day, I run because I can....
