This was another morning when I got up before the others and went for a walk. I headed south and saw flashing lights and road closures. There was a half- marathon scheduled to begin in about a half hour.

I thought I’d catch the start and headed south and east.

I like seeing these well maintained older houses. What I’d really like is to peek inside.

I took this photo from that small park that shows on the map. I realized that the traffic control people had disappeared and there was no sign of a race. I checked my phone and found that it started in Golden Gate Park.

I walked back in that direction. This is the NDGW Home where we were staying–not the one on the corner, but just to the left of the palm tree.

I started to see spectators. I was amused by this sign and asked to take a photo.

These runners came through before we saw the lead motorcycle and bicycle accompanying the first in the race. I learned something after looking up the logo on the yellow shirts.

There were more of the yellow shirts along the way. They are part of Achilles International, an organization made up of people with disabilities who want to be active and people who volunteer as guides. There were two guides with each athlete.The athletes I saw had signs that said blind or deaf or both. After watching awhile I went back to the Home to join everyone for breakfast.

Group photo on Sunday.
