Padres' Exciting 2015 Season and FREE Hoodies!

January 29, 2015 by Elijah Nicolas in sports

It's truly an exciting time to be a San Diego Padres! Heck, even MLB.com even agrees!

On the other hand, the Padres are already there. They've done more than just add talent. They've added excitement and expectations. So here's to San Diego. Some will say that winning the offseason doesn't mean much. The Padres would say it's a start to everything else they hope to accomplish.

Just a quick side note too, May 16th is Lightweight Hoodies Giveaway night and my good friend Jeremiah's birthday. I'd say, playing against the Nationals with a free hoodie would make for a great birthday celebration! How about you? Download their 2015 schedule in PDF.

The Reason the Padres Won on March 30th… SEALs

April 02, 2014 by Elijah Nicolas in sports

The awesome hype that helped push the Padres over the Dodgers… the Navy SEAL team parachuting into Petco Park. We did almost have it last night too but we stranded our runners at 3rd and first. Good luck tonight guys! #BeatLA http://youtu.be/F5DuMCFfhdo

A Beautiful 10K by the Bay!

March 26, 2011 by Elijah Nicolas in fitness, friends

After yesterday's 30 minute run on the treadmill, I felt good for another, longer run. I figured out a good route along the bay and plus, Adelle and I could enjoy some San Diego sun. Running from our apartment and finally getting on the Embarcadero, we set out at a good relaxed pace for 3.1 miles.

When we reached our turn around point, we took a quick break, then started our way back. Watching the Garmin, I noticed that Adelle and I ended up running the second half at a slightly slower pace which was a let down, but hey, we have nine weeks right?! I was able to snap this quick pic of Adelle wearing her San Diego Dodge Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Long sleeve training tech shirt and the awesome weather that we got to enjoy! Check it! I was also able to take a quick picture of the Petco Park from the new pedestrian bridge that goes from the stadium to the Hilton. Good stuff all around!

Now what stinks is the GPS readings and recordings. Compare the two maps below and you'll notice that the Garmin Edge 500 didn't "find" me right away even though it said that it captured my location and the sporadic mapping through downtown is a little off. More or less, with the data from Google Maps, my Garmin Edge 500 and my Nike+ Pedometer, I ran a solid 10K.
