FINALLY. I’m going to do it. I’m going to run a FULL marathon! The Los Angeles Marathon is coming up in March 2011, and I am officially committing to run it!
Just a few years ago, I couldn’t even run ONE mile. Now I’m a running machine! Not really. But I’m trying to become one! To give you a brief history of my running career, here is a list of all the events I have completed so far.
- Huntington Beach 5K 2009
- Pasadena Half 2009
- Disneyland Half 2009
- Las Vegas Half 2009
- Pasadena Half 2010
- Firecracker 20 mile bike tour 2010
- Los Angeles River 36 mile bike tour 2010
- Anaheim All-Star 5K 2010
- San Francisco Half 2010
- Long Beach Half 2010
- Los Angeles Half 2010
And now, I think I am ready to take on the challenge of 26.2 miles!! Bring it!
2011 will mark the 10 year anniversary of my dad’s death from liver cancer. And since 2011 will also be the year that I conquer my first full marathon, I am raising money for cancer research in his honor. I am dedicating this marathon to my dad and to all the other victims of cancer.
Proceeds raised for this event will be donated to Think Cure! and Sony Computer Entertainment will match the amount raised and donate as well.
Please support me and this worthy cause. Together, we can find a cure.
Thank you!
