Happy Sunday! I took Friday off and then on Saturday I was going to run and I ended up passed out on my couch. I did wake up in time to attend a dinner in honor of one of my mentors, Frank "Rocky" Graciano. He was a grade school coach of mine who is one of the most generous people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He was a fireman in town for 30 years, retiring as captain. He gave countless hours of service to the Blessed Sacrament community cooking up some great food. He is best known for being Bill Walton's first coach. Bill spoke and was hilarious! We raised a lot of money for Brian Bennett's scholarship fund and had a great time seeing a lot of people that I haven't seen in quite some time. Been very lucky to have had such great role models growing up!
Today, in honor of both Rocky & Dr. Bennett, I ran a 1/2 marathon around Mission Bay doing what I call the figure 8. I started at Ski Beach, went around Sea World, the Hilton, Information Center Campland by the Bay, Crown Point, back by Paradise Point to the Hyatt, toward Belmont Park and then around Sail Bay back to Ski Beach. I was telling someone at work about the route and they said they don't even like to drive that far! 13.1 miles in 1 hour, 59 minutes & 31 seconds on an empty stomach no less!
Didn't want to advertise for these places but this was the only decent map I could find of Mission Bay. I should not have put my truck in a place where I could get to it half way through my run because I was VERY close to cutting my run short after just the Fiesta Bay loop! Luckily, my momentary thought of stopping passed and I crossed Ingram so it wasn't so close.
Hope you all have a great week ahead!
