Poor, poor Carlie! Her SOMA condo had a gym. She loved it. “Why, it was the FIRST time that I actually WENT to a gym. I simply walked down the hall to the elevator, pressed 3 floors down, then trotted out to the gym!”, she sighed with a big old frown. But when Carlie moved to Cole Valley, she found the local gym too expensive. What was she to do to keep fit? Suddenly, a lightbulb went on inside her capricious little head. “Cole Valley has so many hills. And I can put them to good use!”, she smiled so enthusiastically, she got the hiccups. Mapping out the road plan was very simple . “For my morning jalk (a combo of walk and jog) workout, I go up Frederick to Buena Vista Park, make a right turn on Buena Vista West. At Duboce (top of the hill), slide down 3 VERY STEEP blocks, cross the Muni tracks, twirl round Duboce Park (LOVE LOVE watching the doggies play), trace my steps back up Duboce, which I nick-named “The Alps of Cole Valley”, then head home.” Carlie took some wonderful photos from her workout to share with her friends. “My workouts are fun, visually stimulating, and invigorating”, Carlie said, panting, as she gulped down her morning health smoothie!
