>> Only masochists would dare drive on L.A. Marathon day — but we’ve got some public transit delays due to the marathon too. Plan accordingly.
>> Just in case you missed all the other posts when I referred to this fact: I have indeed run the L.A. Marathon (photo proof right!). It was in 2005, in 04:59:39. I plan to run it again in 2015 to beat a younger me.
>> One of my favorite people, Tracy Hepler of local eco-website Your Daily Thread, is running the marathon today. Encourage her along the 26.2 miles!
>> And just so you know, I — and Tracy, whatever her finish time ends up being — would have run the race a lot faster if it weren’t for air pollution in L.A. Apparently, women more affected than men by air pollution when running marathons (via Treehugger).
that’s awesome!! Go you! Hmmm 2015 huh? Maybe by then the air will be better (?) and I’ll be ready and try to keep up with you! (with those bright red/yellow brooks eco sneakers) ;)
