Strickland5 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 2017 is here, and I'm moving west ... which means wagon! or perhaps okay not really... it means I'm leaving the City I've lived in for 18 years, in the state I've lived all my life in for somewhere COMPLETELY DIFFERENT This challenge is all about change and starting over! Goal 1: Keep calm and move along! So we're moving in about 10 days and honestly its frightening! Movers are packing up things and putting them on a truck to go cross the country at the speed of modern tracker trailers. Find 1 new place per week to visit in SFO! Goal 2 : Get back to running! My love of running has waned of late but I want to get back to basics and run for the sake of running Run 2 times a week + 1 dedicated walk Goal 3 : Moderation This is my constant fight ... booze Limit myself to 6 drinks a week Goal 4 : Read more! I've picked up all the Fafhrd and The Gray Mouser books and will read them! Read on my way to and from work on the train at least 3 days a week!

Mike_d85 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Starting over can be tough as nails or easy as falling in love. I've done it both ways in a single city. Good luck and I'll be following you. 1 Quote My Battle Log I'm on Strava for my running now. Check out Kick! too. You unlock gear with your progress on Strava. Link to comment
Beals Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Big moves are always stressful! Hopefully focusing on running for the love of it will bring up those shiny endorphins and make you associate happy thoughts with your new home. Good luck!! Quote Link to comment

Scatterbunn Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Good Luck on your move. Just think of all the new places to explore (and run!) Quote Link to comment
Anathema Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 San Francisco is a fantastic place to run. Along the Embarcadero up through Fort Mason and down to the Golden Gate Bridge (and across the bridge if you're doing serious distance) is lovely. And with a bit of a commute out of town, the Iron Horse trails go for miles and miles through really neat pockets of the region you might not see otherwise. Welcome to my little corner of the world, I think you're gonna like it! 2 Quote Level 9 * Eladrin Scout Clan: Mek'het * Covenant: Invictus "An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered.

Baldilocks Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Happy belated birthday. I just hit 50 a few weeks ago. As much as I don't like growing old, I'm happy for every day the Creator allows me to stay this side of the dirt. Hey, have you moved already? Well either way I hope for a smooth transition.
