I've mentioned that I am traveling for work.  I am here Friday to Friday so I have a weekend here.  (I have to work Sunday afternoon, but I figured I have Saturday).  I went on line to see what there was to do in the area.  I've been sent here before, so I've done a bunch of the touristy stuff.  I went on line to look for things to do on the weekend.
I registered for the San Diego Coranado Bridge Run - it is the 22nd annual, four mile run.  When I registered, there were less than 500 spots left.  As of today, it is closed.  There are 8,000 people registered.   8,000 people!!!
I'm pretty proud of myself that I thought to sign up for a RUN.  Also, it is the longest distance I have run officially.  And, it is by far the most people that I have run with.  I started running 5K's with 14-24 people.  Then, I had the 5K with 250 people.  Now it is 8,000. 
It's 99 degrees here today.  My job today has been to drink LOTs of non-cafeinated low-sugar liquids.  I need to be hydrated tomorrow.  I've been told that the bridge should be breezy though.
I had to shop today and get sunscreen. I forgot to pack mine.  I bought some that is "Ultra Sweatproof".  We'll see.
I also picked up my bib today.  I had to go to a running store.  There were a lot of people in the store and outside at the bib pickup.  I got a t-shirt (2X) and a coupon for a free coffee at Starbucks.  I'd send it to my sister, but it is only in San Diego.
I bought a fanny pack as well - to carry water and a digital camera.  I hear the view from the bridge is going to be great.
