Crazy work commitments, traveling, and a mobile developers conference (Tuesday through Thursday here in San Diego) have kept me off the workout path since last Saturday's Tour de Goatneck ride.
Yesterday, I said "enough is enough" and squeezed in 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer at the hotel gym between the end of the day's conference sessions and heading out to dinner with the team (we went just one block down the Broadway to Ra, a pretty good sushi restaurant). It was short, but pretty intense, so that was good.
Then this morning, before checking out of the hotel and heading out for the last day of the conference, Derek and I went for a run. (He's tapering before doing the San Francisco Marathon this coming Sunday.) We did about 4.8 miles - ran west down Broadway until we hit the waterfront and then followed Harbor Dr north to the airport - then turned around and went back. Did the out-and-back in 46:40 - only a 9:43/mi pace, but any workout is better than no workout.
On another non-workout-related note, the Marriott Courtyard Downtown San Deigo is a pretty interesting hotel. The building used to be a bank and lots of its details remain - the "front desk" has tellers' windows, the entire lobby/restaurant/bar area is what used to be the bank floor, and the basement is labeled the "Safe Deposit" level on the elevator button panel. The gym is located on the Safe Deposit level and the former vault has been turned into a conference - that's one meeting I wouldn't want to be trapped in! :-) Check out the photos if you're interested.
