In The Ends

"We only want to be free. And as funny as it sounds it's all we want. To not have our egos bound with the rays of suns. Because man should be free as falling rain. To find what he loves even if it's pain" - The Growlers

LA Marathon

I crossed off a big bullet on the list of life last weekend by running in the LA Marathon. I knew I would do a marathon eventually so I figured, why not check it off now? I trained for six months, doing most of my running on the coast between Santa Monica and Malibu. I decided not to train with a running group because I felt I was motivated enough to train on my own, and I wasn't thrilled about the idea of waking up at 7am every Saturday to run.

Running the marathon was probably the hardest thing I have ever done and was a truly amazing experience. Even my thick skin gave way and I got a little emotional at various points on the course as I listened to my favorite music and laid my heart out on the line. I could not have run any faster or tried any harder than I did.

I finished in 4 hours, 27 minutes, and 16 seconds.

And now I am in marathon retirement, and it's on to the next challenge.
