Wednesday Feb. 14th-
I woke up at the hotel after Liz and Jamie had left... leaving me to check out of the room. Liz had conference stuff to do and Jamie was flying out that morning. I had made plans to meet up with Natasha to go run that morning. I made my way over to her place and she suggested running 6 miles down at/on Coronado. I said sure, actually thinking "man, I have only been running 5k each time I go out, I am going to embarrass myself out there". We got down there and parked near the Hotel del Coronado. We started running one way on the beach, got stopped by some guard as if the rest of the beach was military property and then we turned around and started running the other way on the beach until we hit a fence that stopped us from entering another part of the beach that belonged to the military. Our run was at a good pace and the scenery was awesome. We finished by running a bit on the street and by the time we were done my Nike+ said we ran near 4.5 miles, not bad and I did not have to embarrass myself. We got back to her place, showered and had some Wahoo's fish tacos for lunch.
Later that day I got ahold of Liz by cell and we attempted to make some plans for our Valentines day evening together. I realized that any place that might serve a nice dinner would probably be quite busy. So I suggested cheap fast food and a movie. Liz countered my suggestion with decent fast food and a movie. We eventually got cheap pizza and saw Pan's Labyrinth. The movie was quite strange and more gruesome than necessary, but I am not complaining.
I have got to say, Tuesday I started to feel a bit under the weather again. Another sore throat and sinus pain. It would continue through the weekend.
Thursday Feb. 15th-
Not feeling on top of my game, I just hung around Bob's through the afternoon. I got ahold of Liz later in the day. We made plans for me to pick her up after returning her car at the airport and then grab some dinner before picking up Kevin (Deuco) back at the airport. After picking up Liz, we drove around Point Loma looking for a place to get some grub. We eventually drove out a peninsula and found a few hotels with restaurants attached. Being that we were both dressed down, with hoodies and jeans, I was skeptical of our ability to get through the door of any of these restaurants. Through Liz's convincing, I stopped at a place I believe was called Humphrey's by the bay... we were seated there and the service was very good. We had some great food and shared a bottle of wine. It was our Valentines dinner a day late. Afterwards, we made our way back to the airport and picked up Deuco who drove us back to his parents house. After meeting his rents and chilling for a while talking with Liz, Kevin and his sister Megan I eventually drove the 45 minutes back to Bob's place.
