July 8th, Sunday

  Charlie Sheen "Wild Thing" threw out the 1st pitch and there were many olympians on hand before the game (cool archery exhibition) but the Padres were not inspired enough to win unfortunately! 

Got to go to the Padre game in the PetCo suite thanks to Zak Myers and family!  This is one of the pictures on the wall.  Tortoise Power!

The Padres fought valiantly but lost to the Reds .  Great to see many former students/Ambassadors too!

Another tough run but I lived to tell you about it which is the important thing!  8.26 miles in 1:13:20 for a pace of 8:53/mile around Fiesta Bay.  I keep running earlier but the cloud cover is burning off earlier and earlier too. 

 Here's the great view of the game we had.  I am very lucky to live the good life for a night.  They even had some great spicy ketchup for the garlic tots and dogs!

I looked for some cool picture that had 1100 in it but all I got were a lot of motorcycles and a Nokia phone!  I guess we will have to settle for the Padres (I know that is really settling!!!)  but they have been playing better.  That was a nice 6 game winning streak.

This is a view from the seats behind the plate that we got to use for about an inning.  It was like watching a little league game!  Very cool!

The dog days of summer are approaching and I think that this might be the toughest part of this journey.  Please send encouragement, likes, smiles, or anything else that you think will be encouraging!  Thanks for sharing the word and all of your donations to date!  You are the best!
