I don't know how to count the walking I did on Saturday, so I just didn't count it. I know I burned quite a bit though.

This was a huge weekend.

Friday Brad and I walked and walked and walked - over 2 hours. The step program I use says we walked 7.4 miles. I ended up with just over 21,000 steps for the day.

Saturday was the Walk For Life in San Francisco. I've never been, so the length of the walk surprised me. Brad came too and wanted to walk back to the start (where the train station was) instead of taking the shuttles provided. Our first stop on the way back was Buena Vista. Buena Vista is the cafe that created Irish coffee. Since we were in San Francisco and the walk passed right by the cafe, it made sense to go. I had three Irish coffees and Brad had one plus a hot toddy. We shared a shrimp cocktail.

Then I suggested Hooters since I have never been and again, we were had to pass it as we walked back. We each had a pint of beer there (I had lite beer of course), and Brad got cheese sticks with marinara sauce (I had two of the six cheese sticks) and I got a Caesar side salad. The service was great and I really liked it there. Two of the women who work there, including our server, posed for a photo with us before we left.

We finally made it down to Pier 39 where we got massively sidetracked in the shops. We went to a fairy shop where they put a glitter star on my cheek. We found a wine shop and did a wine tasting there and bought some stuff. We even rode the Merry Go Round! That was so much fun! :)

We looked around Pier 39 for a place to eat but didn't find one in our price range that had food I could eat. We walked down the street and found a place a little out of our range, but we were both hungry by that time. I had New York Steak with veggies, and I subbed out the potatoes for extra veggies.

Then we went to Starbucks and I bough Brad an Americano and I got a non-fat sugar-free mocha latte. I've heard bad things about the sugar-free mocha syrup, but I liked it. I split a peppermint bark bar with Brad and got myself a chocolate biscotti. The bark bar was good - I didn't overly care for the peppermint topping, but the "bark" was the most delicious chocolate brownie I have ever tasted.

We ended up taking a bicycle taxi back to the train station, which was fun. :) Total steps for the day were just over 20,000.

I drank way too much alcohol yesterday, but it was a good and happy day and I didn't want it to end. Brad had a bit to drink and more at my house. He said he didn't want to drive home so I pulled out a sleeping bag and yoga mat and put him up for the night on my floor. Better safe than sorry. I'd feel horrible if he were hurt drinking and driving.

Today I was back at the gym again. 1 hour of upper body and core work, plus calves. Good thing today wasn't leg day because my legs haven't recovered yet from all the walking on Friday and Saturday. Cardio was 30 minutes walking on the treadmill, then I also walked to work from the train station (another 30 minutes). That's two hours of exercise and that on top of the weekend - I am bushed!

I'll write more about the Walk For Life, but it deserves its own post. In the meantime, all the photo not dealing with the Walk For Life have been uploaded. The photos are in this set, start at this photo and go forward from there in chronological order.
