I have a 10K in June, then a bunch of halves in the fall -- Rock and Roll LA, Rock and Roll Las Vegas, Long Beach, and Surf City. My next full will be the 2014 L.A. Marathon.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794712479594188124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241667125350399517.post-77616606610659842682013-05-10T08:38:55.498-07:002013-05-10T08:38:55.498-07:00Way to go Chris!!!

The one time I did a full marathon, I hit the wall but it was also mental and I wanted to quit (but didn't). Glad your mind was on board. And congrats for hitting your goal time! Do you have another one planned?Sugar Magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071565706988591786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241667125350399517.post-67733104404657784352013-05-07T19:11:01.948-07:002013-05-07T19:11:01.948-07:00Amazing.

But now, today . . . yeah, I'll do another one. Maybe only one full marathon per year with several half marathons thrown in.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794712479594188124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241667125350399517.post-37502349099963043392013-05-07T16:36:58.196-07:002013-05-07T16:36:58.196-07:00AWESOME, Chris!

Once I download the photos (for a price, of course), I'll post it and/or email it to you for future generations to marvel over. And I'll be sending the hat later in the week.<br /><br />To balance the karma, I wore my Yankee hat at the expo.
