Yesterday, since I bypassed the streets leading up to the Mosaic steps, and the second stairway - which I have since found to be called "The (Ugly) Sister Steps", I drove to Moraga and 15th Street, and climbed up the stairs. It took me 90 minutes to drive into the city. Noon traffic! I won't be doing that again! Next time, I'll make sure I'll leave earlier!
And I'm so glad I did! Not only were the mosaic designs beautiful, but the view breathtaking too! I've no idea how many miles it was, maybe 1, on a steep hill with the steps? I forgot to turn my GPS tracker on the cell phone on! :( I think I shall make it a point, that if I don't go to an official training walk on a Sunday, I'll go elsewhere in San Francisco and be a tourist, and get some miles in! :)
One thing is for sure, the steps weren't that bad to climb up, although I did need to stop a couple of times. It was the coming downhill that I had to be careful! I had that "wobbly-leg-feeling" one gets when they come of a bike machine!

Wow, those steps look gorgeous! Glad to see your being diligent with that training.
Looking at those steps I'm reminded of a lot of mandirs in India I've been to where I've climbed lots of steps to reach the deity at the top. It's always exhilirating and uplifting.
Even though there's not mandir at the top where you're going, I feel that the effect was the same.
Jai
