Coast to Coast

Where in the world has the Ocho been? She's been from coast to coast, baby! That's right, the Ocho has been on vacation for two weeks and spent time on both coasts of this great country. The first week was spent with the Family Ocho in San Diego. The Ocho parents, the Ocho Sister, Senor Ocho and The Ocho spent time at a Padres game, went to the San Diego Zoo and tried their hardest to be true California Beach bums. (This is in fact an impossible feat for Papa Ocho so we did some other stuff too.)

After the week in San Diego, HP08 and Senor Ocho headed to the Outer Banks with a few friends. This was true beach bum time until Ernesto rolled ashore. However, this left time for touristy stuff and a serious trip to the outlet malls. All in all a good time. HP08 got a seriously stomach sunburn but managed enough of a tan to try and make those stuck in DC jealous. :)

So, to sum up, there was a lot of bumming, some running, too much sunning and a lot of rain. Oh, and we ran our 17 miles between the two trips and did our shorter runs while we were there. Ernesto cost us a 5 miler, but we knocked it out when we got back. Can the marathon be now? Please?

Ocho out.
