Marathon Monkey

Yay! So, Mauricio and I did the L.A. Marathon for the first time ever. Woo hoo! If you've got any inclination, then I say, "Do it!" Or stop by next year. Too much fun.

"I LOVE L.A.! I LOVE IT!"

So, we had a single celebrity sighting: We passed Freddie Prinze Jr. between mile 18 and 19 and got Mike Wilson to get a good picture of him. Apparently, Freddie registered under the name Freddie James instead of Freddie Prinze...ya know, cause such a high-profile celeb likes his privacy.

A COUPLE OF GOOD MARATHON QUOTES:
Mauricio, right after we passed by a water station and we both tossed our cups to the side:

"You know, I'm only doing the marathon because it's the only time I get to litter without fear of judgement. It's never socially acceptable otherwise."


My mother, after waiting for me for hours to arrive:

"I was thinking about trying to sneak up and get a medal, so they would let me lay on the grass. It's only cause they were only letting the runners lay down. I mean, I'm wearing sweat pants."
