On the "Run" - 12/30/07

2.58 Miles / 43:09 Min / 16:40 mpm


Walked 30 min, ran 5 min, walked the rest of the way. I had intended to go one hour total but at the 43 min mark, we reached the dawg park and the dawg was jones-ing for some face-chewing action so we called it.

The photo above is of the Cabrillo Bridge, named for San Diego's European Discoverer. It formed the ceremonial entrance to the 1915 Exposition. Frankin Delano Roosevelt was in the first car to drive across the structure during it's dedication ceremony in 1914.

It is 450 feet long and 120 feet high, modeled after a Romam aqueduct. While highway 163 currently runs underneath, originally the bridge spanned a lagoon.
