Over the past several year's I've become increasingly interested in local/sustainable and organic food production. It's difficult getting good information about local resources in San Diego county for buying local/sustainable food, so I created this web page to share what I've found and liked in San Diego. Not everything is organic or locally grown as I've noted below, but I find each option infinitely preferable to the supermarket alternative.

Amy, Julie and I ran/walked the 2008 San Diego Rock & Roll Marathontoday. This was Julie's first marathon & Amy trained with her one on one for the past several months.  They both came in at 6:52:05.  I trained with my friends at InMotionFit using the 16 week Furman FIRST training program. I trained for a 3:56 time (9 min/mile pace) and was on target until about three weeks before the marathon when I threw my back out. I also caught a cold a few days before the race, so I wasn't in the best shape on race day & came in at 4:29:26. The race started from Balboa Park at 6:30 and it was cool & overcast. Me and a group of fellow runers started out with the 4:00 pace group leader & we were very dissapointed when at mile 5 the guy threw away the pace stick and disappeared entirely from the marathon. Something didn't seem right when he showed up in our corral wearing a cotton T-shirt & regular street shorts.

I started training for the 2008 Carlsbad Marathon in June of 2007 with two goals.  First, I wanted to run the entire 26.2 miles without having to stop and walk.  My second goal was to complete the marathon in 4 hours or less.
