Quote: San Diego is a nice southern California spot that I love to visit for a nice, relaxing weekend. However, this weekend was different. I chose to turn up the heat a little bit and make it a challenge by participating in the Rock n Roll Marathon on June 6, 2004.

Prado at Balboa Park Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "El Prado--Balboa Park"

Quote:
This is the only real restaurant at Balboa Park that I could find. The food crispy bread that they served as an appetizer with some kind of a garlic/cheese spread was excellent. I had the spaghetti, and it left something to be desired considering it was overpriced for the quality, but the portion was huge! On the whole, it is expensive because they monopolize the restaurant market at Balboa Park, but I would probably eat there again.

San Diego Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Best of IgoUgo

Attraction | "San Diego Rock N Roll Marathon"

This was the first marathon that I have ever run! The course is very diverse; it starts out in Balboa Park, then weaves through some of the streets of downtown, crosses over Mission Bay, the residential areas of old town, and finally ends over on the marine base. What a race! The day was pretty overcast and cool for about the first two hours, but then it started to heat up for the rest of the race. I was dead by the end, but crossing that finish line at 4 hours, 16 minutes was all worth it!
