T-minus 19 days....

The Los Angeles Marathon is only days away. A marathon is a long-distance running event with an official distance of 26 .2 miles that is usually run as a road race. The name Marathon comes from the legend of Philippides, a Greek messenger. The legend states that he was sent from the battlefield of Marathon to Athens to announce that the Persians had been defeated in the Battle of Marathon.  It is said that he ran the entire distance without stopping and burst into the assembly, exclaiming “We have won” before collapsing and dying. Perfect image of what I'll look like come March 20th. can't wait!!!
