While the East Coast and the entire Eastern seaboard brace for super storm Sandy, the west coast particularly the city of Los Angeles has been invaded by a storm of different kind.
The "Pacific Storm" known as Manny Pacquiao made land last Saturday and started his preparations for his all important fourth bout with Juan Manuel Marquez today (Monday).
Pacquiao, 33, was in the road as early as six o'clock Monday morning and jogged his favorite trails of Griffith Park in Hollywood. He was accompanied by his brother, Bobby and other members of his team as he made his way across the hills of the famed urban park.
He then proceeded to his usual routine of stretching exercises which was supervised by friend and assistant coaches Buboy Fernandez and Nonoy Neri.
Pacquiao and his team stayed for about two hours in the park as he went through all his exercises and then they drove home to his Palazzo apartments to eat and rest as they prepare for their first day of training at the Wild Card Gym.
Team Pacquiao reported for day 1 of their Wild Card camp in the afternoon where lead trainer and long time coach, Freddie Roach awaits.
Pacquiao did the mitts and pads with Roach in the popular boxing gym in Vine St., where he was reported to have done eleven intense rounds with his equally famous trainer.
