On Saturday we walked a total over 9 miles, and 8 of those were on an early morning training walk from Del Mar to UCSD in La Jolla. We got a relatively early start (7am) and finished up about 2 1/2 hours later. The weather was perfect for a long walk, cool, breezy and overcast most of the time.
We weren't the only ones up and out early. The surfers along Del Mar were out in force!
This sign wasn't kidding - this train whooshed by us at lightening speed! (And that, my friends, is why we never wear headphones while walking!) You've got to be able to hear the train when it's coming!
The long walk towards Torrey Pines State beach...and the BIG hill.
We made it to the top, and kept on walking!
What a beautiful course!
Time for a quick break and a "happy-snappy."
On Sunday we found a new place to walk. We walked a 6 mile loop around Coronado Island. It was a beautiful walk, and one we will certainly do again. It was cool and cloudy when we started. (Doesn't San Diego have a beautiful downtown skyline?)
We saw the aircraft carrier the USS Ronald Reagan coming back to it's home base. Here it is entering the bay of San Diego, near Point Loma.
We saw some gorgeous homes along the way...
This was one of my favorites - and it was directly across from the beach.
Ah, the world famous Hotel Del.
We also did something we'd never done before...we walked under the Coronado Bay Bridge! It was a pretty cool perspective from under there.
It was nice and sunny by the time we got back around to where we'd started.
I love living in San Diego, and these pictures show you just a little bit of why. There are some many beautiful places to visit and walk around, and you can go from the beach to the mountains in just an hour!I'm hoping your week is off to a great start!
