Walk to the races

I’ve com­bined two walks here, one to the start of the DSE Run­ners Mis­sion Bay 5K today and the oth­er back home. I was­n’t quite sure how to han­dle it because the next report will be about run­ning that hap­pened in the mid­dle of this walk. It seemed sil­ly to have three runs logged for one trip out, but I def­i­nite­ly want to keep my race entries separate.

One nice thing about this walk is that for the way back home I had a cup of Philz cof­fee  in my hand. I’m fin­ish­ing that cup now as I write. While I was wait­ing for mine to be made, a small group came along with two women, a child in a stroller and a man who wait­ed out­side. They were hav­ing a lit­tle trou­ble with the learn­ing curve at Philz, which is under­stand­able since there are so many options. One said out loud, «how do we know what to get?» so I rec­om­mend­ed the Phil­har­mon­ic as my own favorite, and before I left I saw that they both had ordered the Phil­har­mon­ic, with car­damom. I have a lit­tle regret that I did­n’t wait long enough to find out if either or both liked it, but I’m choos­ing to believe that it could­n’t fail to please.
