This weekend I officially signed up for two big San Diego events coming up in August. One is the AFC (America’s Finest City) Half Marathon. This 13.1 mile jaunt begins near Cabrillo National Monument in Point Loma, wanders on the coast line near the airport, through downtown San Diego and finishes uphill to Balboa Park. It should be a good time but I’ve heard the last several miles are killer. I’ve boldly claimed I would like to run at an 8:20/mile pace. Hopefully that’s not too ambitious.
I also bought my tickets to San Diego’s Street Scene, a music festival at the end of August. This year’s Street Scene features The Black Eyed Peas, Modest Mouse, M.I.A., The Dead Weather, Silversun Pickups, Band of Horses and Ra Ra Riot, amongst others. It should be fun. I’m excited for the return visit to show. Last year, I thoroughly enjoyed The National (and I’m sad they’re not returning), Vampire Weekend and TV on the Radio.
