Greetings from San Diego

We arrived in San Diego late Friday night. On Sat Tim, Jeff and Sandra went wake boarding at 5am while I slept in, until 9. After wake boarding, Sandra made us a wonderful lunch and then we played "Rock Band" before heading out for a bike ride. While Sandra was preparing yet another great meal, the dudes went suffering at Mission Beach, which is across the street from Sandra and Jeff's house. After dinner, we road our bikes down to the local bar, The Beachcomber, for a few beers. On Sunday, the guys took Jeff's boat out to Point Loma and surfed off the boat. While the guys were suffering, the gals went on a hike at Point Loma. On Monday morning we went to Jeff's favorite surf spot, the guys caught a couple waves while the girls relaxed on the beach. In the afternoon, we went on a 14 mile bike ride around Mission Bay. After the bike ride, we went to the Wave House and the dudes tried their luck on "The Wave". We ended our trip to SD with a ride on Sandra and Jeff's new boat to the Barefoot Bar and Grill. We had a great time in SD. Sandra and Jeff were wonderful hosts and we can't wait to come back next year!

Our next stop is 29 Palms!

We thought this bird was cute until we discovered why he was hanging around us...

We are Hippie Chicks!!

Kathleen and I completed the Hippie Chick Half Marathon (13.1 miles) on Saturday 5/10/08. Kathleen did great, she completed it in 2 hrs 7 min., I on the other hand, did not do so well, it took me 2 hrs 24 min. Tim, Brock and the girls came out to cheer us on, I definitely needed their support! Kathleen and I plan on doing it again next year. I think I need to up my training for next years race!

Resa limping to the finish. The girls ran the last few yards with me, I do not think I would have made it on my own.
I included this photo because it makes me look like I am running fast! Kiley is running to my right.
