LA Marathon Race Recap - Reader's Digest Version

LA Marathon 3/21/2010

Woke up at 3am, drove to Santa Monica by 4:15am, got on shuttle to Dodger Stadium, sat at Dodger Stadium for 3 hours, stood in line at the porta potty's for 30 minutes, got an interesting show above the porta potty's (funny), ran 26.52 miles, finished the LA Marathon and had a celebratory lunch and beer with good friends. Sat in traffic on the way home, had sushi with my wife and crashed until this morning.

Official time: 5:14:14

I'll write a more detailed report in the next few days.
