Saturday
we gathered for a 20 mile walk that lead us on a huge circle around San Francisco. We
walked though the Marina toward Aquatic Park, past Fisherman's Wharf,
along the the Embarcadero to AT & T Park, into China Basin and up Potrero
Hill, along through the Mission to Mission Dolores Park, through the Castro up
17th Street to Cole Valley, continuing on through the Inner Sunset, into Golden
Gate Park and through the Richmond and finally back
into the Presidio! This is one heck of a walk and everyone did so great!
On Sunday our Warming Hut Hotties team members who are walking in the San Francisco Komen 3 Day for the Cure, did a 20 mile walk to Tiburon!
A small, small group of 5 people who are walking in the Immediate Impact Walk did the 16 mile walk route we had completed a few weeks ago, since it is such a special walk. We started by heading through GG Park and out to Stanyan Street. From a wooden stair case between two houses we hopped onto the Historic Trail around Mt Sutro. This trail is truly magical – quietly enveloped in fog and lush greenery. From there we pushed on to Portola Dr. - took a break at Mollie Stone’s and continued on our walk through the hidden gem Glen Canyon Park. We moseyed through the Glen Park neighborhood admiring the gardens and architecture. Then we walked through Noe Valley, the Castro, Duboce Park, the Panhandle, the Conservatory of Flowers and like cows to the barn, we headed back down Arguello to the Transit Cafe!

Tremendous thanks to our route support volunteers: Lizelle, Marsha and
Sharla for providing
snacks, hydration, encouragement and rides to walkers who listened to their
bodies.
Take time to recover from your hard work: continue to hydrate,
stretch and eat to re-fuel your body. Use ice and ibuprofen for soreness, but
if you are experiencing pain that does not subside after a few days, please go
see a doctor. There is time between now and your event to make changes in
hydration, nutrition and gear if you learned something is not working for
you.
Treat yourself with loving kindness this week!

WEEK'S MAP QUOTES
The world needs dreamers and the world needs
doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do. Sarah Ban Breathnach
We show up for each other, to catch our prayers in love and
blow them out as blessings into the wind together. Hannah Marcotti
If you want to see the love of your life, look in the mirror. Byron Katie
WEEKLY INSPIRATION
Whenever I have tough weeks where I have a lot of self-doubt, am critical of myself, or it seems way too many challenges have been thrown my way, I watch this Ted Talk by Brene Brown, The Power of Vulnerability. When you google her name, the following words pop up under the link: authenticity, shame, empathy, vulnerability, courage, compassion, connection. A lot of the stuff our community is about. Make a cup of tea, snuggle into a comfy chair and watch. It is powerful, powerful stuff!

"There’s always pushback when
we begin to lead courageous, authentic lives. We’re going to piss off people,
make people uncomfortable, and get criticized. I don’t know if I’ll ever be
comfortable with disappointing people or being on the receiving end of
mean-spirited criticism, but I know I can’t go back to pleasing, performing,
and perfecting. Vulnerability is hard, but not as hard as regret." Brene Brown
