Jogging through San Diego
Strap on your running shoes, said Hugo Martin in the Los Angeles Times. Instead of seeing San Diego from “a stuffy tour bus,” you can take in the city’s sights and sounds while also “burning off unwanted pounds.” An hour-long running tour costs $60 and begins at 7 a.m. My guide and I started our 6.7-mile run in the Gaslamp Quarter, heading down nearly empty streets to the harbor. Soon we passed the legendary Midway aircraft carrier and the 1863 windjammer Star of India. Circling back, we jogged past the Victorian-era Horton Grand Hotel. That’s where I hit the wall, “and the wall hit back.” Trotting down crowded Fifth Avenue, we navigated our way toward the old theater district and passed a saloon once owned by Wyatt Earp. Once finished, I hungrily put back all the calories I’d lost by eating a breakfast waffle “the size of a Frisbee.”
