You can learn a lot about your city training for a marathon. On average, it takes 20 weeks to go from zero to 26.2 miles. For my training program, I averaged around 30 miles per week as I was ramping up, and got closer to 50 near race day. Spread out across three to five runs a week, there’s a lot of our city to take in.
My long runs often went from my cottage in Ocean Beach up through Point Loma, around Harbor Island, past the airport, down toward the Embarcadero, and past Seaport Village before turning around.
I was never alone on these runs. Free-spirited souls played guitar and spun fire on the beach near my home as groups of cyclists whizzed past me in Point Loma. Families gathered for picnics along Spanish Landing Park and the sounds of planes arriving with travelers hoping for a sunny vacation lingered overhead.
At Waterfront Park, skin-tight neon outfits and barely-there tops during CRSSD made way for cowboy-hat-wearing locals yee-hawing their way through Boots in the Park. My favorite days consisted of watching sailboats float by on the bay and megayachts visiting San Diego for the week.
No matter what month I was running, one thing was always clear: Our city loves the sun and everything under it. We’re active, but more than that, we’ve grown up here and gathered here because there’s just no place like it. Even on its worst days, this is still a place you want to come home to.
This issue is a love letter to San Diego. This month we gush over our favorite surf spots while calling out what loving those breaks means about you. Sure, Tourmaline is a longboarder’s heaven, but we’re betting you’re enjoying a few early bird specials these days. We check out the skate fashion of today’s youngsters hoping to become the next Tony Hawk, or at least land their next backside heelflip.
We hit South Mission Beach hoping to find the spirit of volleyball, and explore a new aquaponics system helping Pala Reservation grow more than 1,600 plants at a time while using 90 percent less water and land.
If you love the sun (and this issue), keep an eye out for a rebrand of our Hikey Bikey Beer newsletter, launching this month. We’re calling it Everything Under the Sun. It will still focus on active lifestyle content, but will include more things like surfing, running, climbing, sailing, pickleball, and all the things that get our heart rates up outside.
For me, after crossing the finish line for my first marathon, it was this city that I was the most grateful for. Training for the longest run of your life is just a little bit easier with nearly perfect weather year-round and all your friends outside keeping you company.
So, here’s to more adventures under the sun.
Every week from now until San Diego Comic-Con, we’re celebrating you: our readers! So let’s meet this week’s Attendee of the Week:
Cash Branson
@captcash
Where are you traveling from for San Diego Comic-Con?
Pittsburgh, PA
How many years have you been attending?
Since 2013
What was your favorite panel and why?
I love attending any cosplay panel to learn what’s new in crafting and to get ideas.
What is your favorite exhibitor or artist booth and why?
I’m a Marvel junkie, so you can always find me around there in cosplay (usually as a Marvel character).
What is your favorite item you’ve ever taken home from the convention (swag, exclusive, merch, etc.)?
The coolest piece of swag I’ve ever gotten was a copy of Defenders #1 (2017) signed by the leads of The Defenders Netflix show! Netflix had an activation and invited Defenders cosplayers to show up. So I dressed as Daredevil, imagine my surprise when Charlie Cox, Mike Coulter, Kristen Ritter, and Finn Jones walked out and gave us all copies of the latest Defenders book signed by them! And where do you think I heard about the cosplay Invite? Here on the SDCC Unofficial Blog!
What was your favorite autograph session and why?
I’m a comic nerd first and foremost. At SDCC I was able to meet one of my favorite authors, Tom King, at the DC Booth. He signed my Mister Miracle (and my copy of Vision #1 despite that it was a Marvel book)!
Tell us about your most memorable celebrity encounter at the convention.
At this point there have been so many! SDCC is crazy for randomly bumping into celebs. My favorite one was probably at the premiere of The Boys in 2019. Mind you, this was the first any of the public had seen of The Boys and well before it became the hit it is. I had read the comics and knew who the production staff was so I had high enough hopes for the show that I made myself a Homelander cosplay. As the showrunner, Eric Kripke was introducing the cast and he called me out from the audience and I got the chance to hug Anthony Starr, Homelander himself!
What was your favorite offsite and why?
I love the offsites! It’s hard to pick a favorite, but I absolutely love how the Gaslamp District transforms during Comic-Con. One of my favorites was last year’s Hellfire Gala held by D23. It was effectively the Met Gala held by the X-Men in a who’s who of the Marvel Universe. I attended dressed as Doctor Doom with a retinue of Doom Bots.
Where is your favorite place to eat during the con?
That’s a tough call. I did really enjoy the Mooby’s pop-up from 2023. It was really entertaining to get View Askewinverse snacks!
What is your favorite thing about San Diego Comic-Con?
The other fans! It’s so much fun to see so many folks so passionate about their fandoms. I’ve gotten to know so many folks from all over.
What is your best tip having a good con?
Follow the SDCC Unofficial Blog! No, seriously. They are invaluable in knowing what is going on and where and how to get tickets for it! Beyond that plan it, but be open to change. Prioritize the things you HAVE to do vs. what you really want to do. You won’t be able to do everything and that’s ok! If there’s something you HAVE to do, get in line for it at least 2 hours early.
Do you tend to do the convention solo or with friends?
How would you describe SDCC to someone who has never been before?
Nerd Mecca. Everyone should go once just to see how crazy it is.

LOS ANGELES — The early stages of the Angel City FC-San Diego Wave FC rivalry has proven to be difficult to call, like a tightly-contested election race.
Entering the first meeting of the 2024 season on Thursday night, each team had three wins and two draws.
In front of 19,103 at BMO Stadium, two of the league’s less-than-lethal offenses battled to a scoreless draw in a match that saved its best nervous moments for the late stages. The draw leaves Angel City with a 1-2-1 record at home.
Just before the end of the nine minutes of stoppage time, San Diego nearly snatched the three points. Off a free kick, Emily Van Edmond’s header from near the penalty spot hit the crossbar and the rebound came to Alex Morgan and her header was swatted away by Angel City goalkeeper DiDi Haračić.
Haračić was credited with five saves for the night.
“Story of our season,” San Diego coach Casey Stoney said. “I thought we created a lot, still bitterly disappointed to walk away with a point. Our best chances didn’t hit the target.”
Angel City (3-5-2, 11 points) almost found a game-winning goal early in stoppage time. Alyssa Thompson made a darting run through the middle and laid it off to her right to M.A. Vignola. Vignola’s shot across the goal was kicked away by San Diego goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan.
“The goal was to keep it out of the back of the net,” Haračić said. “The entire team showed a lot of grit to get a point. It shows the depth we have on this team. We missed (injured) Sarah (Gorden), she’s a big piece of our team, but at the end of the day, I’m confident in whoever steps on the field.”
The game was Angel City’s first without vice captain and starting center back Gorden, who suffered an ankle injury last week.
This was the third shutout that Haračić and Angel City have recorded this season, the last coming against the North Carolina Courage (April 21).
That moment gave Angel City some life as it earned three consecutive corner kicks. Neither one put San Diego (3-4-3, 12 points) under any serious pressure.
The game was scoreless at halftime, which probably should have been expected, considering how much both teams have struggled offensively this season. San Diego had just nine goals through its first nine games, while Angel City had scored 11 through its first nine.
The teams will meet twice more this season. The second regular-season meeting is Aug. 24 in San Diego. Three weeks before that, they will meet in the NWSL/Liga MX Summer Cup on Aug. 1 at Cal State Fullerton’s Titan Stadium.
With the upcoming international break, Angel City will be off until June 8 against NJ/NY Gotham FC.
