Runner's Weekend - San Francisco

[@leonaleewong]

Absolutely loved how you captured the beauty of SF and even dug out old family pics. It was awesome spending time with you, Terrence & other Kofuzians - come back again soon!!!

[@kofuzi]

Great to spend time with you again!

[@SandStormXII]

Hell ye

[@donaldbeck5602]

Michael , you are the Rick Steves of running! Thanks so much for taking us along with you! I have really enjoyed the Runner's Weekend series.

[@SarahOdeh]

Great video! Really enjoyed seeing SF from your POV. The Bush Man died several years back. He was such a wonderful piece of the Wharf.

[@kofuzi]

I figured he must not be around anymore. Sad to hear he’s gone

[@demzre]

Very nice meeting you Mike at the ASICS meetup. As I said, you’re building such a great community for all of us runners…or wannabe runners like me. It gave me a chance to meet Terrence and Leona too.

[@leonaleewong]

awesome meeting you as well, Albert!!

[@tsubakichan]

See you in the LS, if not around town!

[@demzre]

@@tsubakichan Good luck with the marathon! Once I recover, I'll try to run LS more so hopefully we'll bump into each other.

[@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183]

Yet more fun seeing you meet up with other run club members, and also more outstanding cinematography of one of the most beautiful cities in the world! There was a Boudin sourdough in Santa Monica (don’t know if it’s still there) and I used to fill my suitcase with sourdough bread every time I went back to LA to see my parents. Also-those electric buses are technically called trams or trolley buses if I’m not mistaken. They had those, too, when I was growing up in LA but they disappeared by sometime in the 60’s if not earlier. Not to be confused with cable cars.

[@inkjob12]

you made my area look so good....we have problems here in the Bay Area, like everyone else, but the Bay Area is so beautiful. Love that you had a great time....have fun in Eugene

[@j.w.matney8390]

Grew up in San Francisco and worked there until 2017. My lunch runs were along the Embarcadero down past the ballpark and further south to Pier 80. The views were almost always nice and it's a great memory. I think you did a good job showcasing the city for runners.

[@fastinradfordable]

I don’t think it’s ‘the city for runners’ It is full of way too many cars and people spewing pollution The best city for running is one where you don’t see a car the whole time you run. In my humble opinion. I wanted to visit snd driven thru but Bay Area is insanely overpopulated Not to mention…. Priced…. A runners city is not one where avg rent per month is over $3,000

[@onairsebcycling]

Another great one! Particularly loved that last bit at the end about sometimes wanting things to stay the same. 👌

[@sylvainbauge]

I've lived there for 13 years and that's where I've gone to college and met my wife(s), LOL, so SF will always have a special place in my heart. I miss it but not the high prices. Now I'm back in Europe where I'm originally from.

[@mlegrand]

Amazing location 🙌 Loving these runner weekend trips!!!

[@ksteege]

OK Mike - I think you have a future in planning running weekends... sign me up! Awesome video as always - so so jealous of these - hoping to be on a few of my own soon enough...

[@apocreg11]

Absolutely love here runner weekend videos Mike!!

[@aquicktake]

LOL - I was actually laughing at 5:50 when you went into your review of the sourdough bowl... sounded just like a shoe review. Yummy

[@runningformybestlife]

Hahaha so true.

[@briannee9693]

Nice video! Unfortunately, I think the Bush Man passed away a number of years ago. 😢 I used to work near the Wharf and would watch him scare people all the time during my lunch break. Never got old!

[@ricodelavega4511]

lived here for years, didnt know about the bush man. I've had encounters with other "eccentrics" or homeless folk in SF who were harmless and would play wtih passing folk in various ways, tho most are obviously not in that mode. Great run Michael, hope you got some vegetarian tacos after the group run.

[@kofuzi]

The tacos were great! Rice, beans, and veggies. I only wish I would have eaten more of them

[@kofuzi]

Simple but very effective comedy

[@timothybrown8424]

I think his nephew took over, but I haven't seen him since 2019.

[@Matt_Kraczon]

Never been this early to comment. Congrats on the move, enjoyed listening to your talk about yard work as I was mowing the yard yesterday.

[@UltraTrailSteven]

SF has some great routes for sure! Running across the Golden Gate Bridge in the fog in the early morning with the fog horn going off is a really cool experience.

[@kofuzi]

it's surreal because of the fog and strangely loud because of the traffic

[@UltraTrailSteven]

@@kofuzi Totally agree! I ran across the bridge for the Golden Gate Trail classic. It was probably 5:20 in the morning, so the fog was there and also the weird yellowish glow from the lights. It was pretty darn cool

[@p5rsona]

your old pic gave me a good chuckle lol, crazy transformation

[@charriso]

So nice to see you and Terrence running together! And Leona too! Makes me want to run in SF soon, I just need to practice hills more 😅

[@leonaleewong]

we're waiting for you to come!!

[@kofuzi]

It’s hilly but oh so worth it

[@CTYeung]

Awesome info on San Francisco Marathon 1st half in 2 weeks. Excited to see everyone there.

[@michellemmoore1]

I haven’t watched in a while but man was that a cool video. Your product quality is exceptional. Never been to San Fran but it is on my list.

[@kofuzi]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@alur2981]

Great perspective of San Fransisco, such a beautiful city!

[@kofuzi]

I love it there

[@runningformybestlife]

What a fun vlog!! That fog during your morning run was crazy!😶‍🌫️ Definitely going to have to try out one of those bread bowls one day. Love how you captured the vibe of SF.🌉

[@Mike-cs9jr]

San Francisco is somewhere I've always wanted to visit. Running the bridge is on my bucket list and your visit to the wharf made me hungry for a bread bowl and ice cream. I think you should fly back through before home and get some sourdough to take back to your wife. :)

[@RemyBReel]

@4:08 That lady seems to be VERY intrigued by the camera LoL Another excellent adventure!

[@kofuzi]

Thanks Remy!

[@barrypurse5332]

Thanks for the content! I’ll probably never go to San Francisco - but I just did‼️😁

[@JStock1032]

"It looks like you're staring into the abyss!!" "That's California, son".

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

Love SF. One of my favorite cities. You ran part of the Ragnar course and that brought back some memories.

[@kofuzi]

oooh. SF Ragnar sounds fun

[@1519Spring]

Another nice one. Cool idea to go back to the painted ladies where you and your daughter walked years ago.

[@jadrianme6044]

Super encouraged by this channel. I just started running last week and I’ve been working on half miles. Super excited in the next year to work towards distance runs like this!

[@kofuzi]

my current fitness goals are to be able to run like this without having to skip a run or miss an opportunity because I'm too tired

[@alanorcharton8855]

Really nice video- loved that you re-ran walks you did with your daughter as a baby. It’s a great idea - “nostalgia run” for the soul.

[@kofuzi]

A trip down memory lane

[@shannonsides6017]

I should’ve known better than to have watched a Kofuzi travel vlog while starving. Had to pause and finish it at Bread Co (aka Panera) while eating soup in a bread bowl. EPIC fog run with @terrence huey . So cool to see (or not see) the GGB like that! Loved seeing @leona wong as well.

[@kofuzi]

That is an excellent place to watch the video

[@kit7579]

Kofuzi, I have enjoyed watching your travel/run videos. Particularly, I have enjoyed your story telling about yourself and the places that you were in. You can definitely do a travel channel.

[@markchangcoco5427]

Loving all of these meet ups 😀🙌 this Kofuzi tour is great!

[@LuisBecerra79]

😮 the mist!!! No wonder you passed Leona Wong on that run without even knowing, good thing she got a picture to prove it 😂🤣. Golden gate bridge run ✔️ 🚊✔️ KRC ✔️. Another excellent trip 👍🏼. I would like to do a HM or a race that goes thru the golden gate. The views most be super. Can’t wait to see the Oregon weekend video 😁😁😁

[@kofuzi]

Yeah. I had no idea she was there. The fog was so thick

[@sun.2801]

Love San Francisco! So nice to see it again through your lens. Looks like you had a great time!

[@KoMaruyama]

Hahah! ❤ that ice cream ending! 😂

[@williamcass68]

Thanks so much for sharing!

[@jodibeck]

Sam Fran is one of my favourite cities to go to when I visit the US. Hopefully one day I will get to do the marathon there.

[@tsubakichan]

People don't like running it because it's not a fast course (pretty decent elevation changes, albeit mostly 1st half) - but having run other races in other cities, it's still my favorite because of the beauty and variety of scenery. Hope to see you on the course one day! (And would love to visit .au someday too!)

[@sportsarefun1865]

I do recall that bush guy!

[@jacobriis7859]

There is a parkrun near the Golden Gate Bridge. It's Crissy Field parkrun.

"Runner's Weekend" just a catch-all title?

[@kofuzi]

It’s unusual for me to travel mid-week, so Runner’s Weekend is usually more technically correct. Some of this travel for this summer occurred during the week, but since I was not coming to these cities to sit at an office desk and work 9-5, it seemed unnecessarily pedantic to title two of the episodes something different
