Thanks, Kevy! I enjoyed it, too.

Sooo.... went down to watch the LA Marathon in the rain. Dang, 25,000 people is a lot when they're going by in a stream. I was there for two hours and there were almost no breaks in the swarm of people going past.

That was my reaction

After spending a wonderful day at the park in the rain (Screamin' in a downpour is an interesting experience that should only have been done once), we stopped and picked up some soup and that really hit the spot.

We phoned ahead to Taps for two bowls of Clam Chowda. When we arrived, we were informed that they screwed up the soup that day and forgot to put the clams in it. So, we got two bowls of Clamless Chowda for free.

Susan and I volunteered as finish line workers for many years. While it was exciting to see the elite runners come in, it was always the everyday people that we always moved us the most.

What dumbass suggested you go on Screamin' a second time?

I could see that. The elites are prepared, but the rest who finished really worked for it. So many people, slogging along, caught my eye, and just a little bit of encouragement seemed to perk them up a bit. I was at mile 17, so still a long way to go, but dude, they made it 17 miles.

Husband and I trained for the marathon one year. Turns out my body rebels very strongly at about 15 miles (before that, really, if I were listening), so we stopped and didn't run. It's really hard work to train for one....

Some people seemed like they woke up that morning, and in trying to decide what they were going to do that day, and decided, "I think I'll run a marathon today."

The bloody nipples were the part that always made me cringe.

That's the worst part of marathoning rollercoasters on a really cold day, too.
