Training Day 3: Lions, Tigers and Giraffes, Oh My!

Date: 1 July 2008 / Distance: Walk Around the Wild Animal Park + 2 mi run / Time: 2 hr + 16 min 33 sec

My dad and I braved the dry heat of the Escondido (East San Diego County?) this morning to check out the San Diego Wild Animal Park.  We walked around the park at a very leisurely pace for 2 to 3 hours.  We saw tons of animals, mainly those from the African continent including lions, giraffes, elephants, rhinos and a ba-zillion antelope species.  I saw a big horn sheep do a number 2 on a mountain side.  It was a cascade of little brown pebbles down the mountain side. It was hilarious!!  Anyhoo, my dad and I were planning on doing a 4 mile walk after our day at the park, but my dad was pretty tired and took a nap instead.  I went ahead and did a 2 mile run in addition to a quick strength workout.  I have yet to listen to the new music I've downloaded onto my iPod.  I can't wait to rock out to the new Madonna album!  hoo hoo!
