I also ran in the LA Marathon on Sunday it was my first marathon. My sister and I ran it together and finished in I agree that is really is a great course!!

Thanks for sharing. What a great finish. Interesting comparison of vs at mile Just kinda sticks out there… Sounds like a pretty fun race, I prefer out and back courses. I may have to put this one on my list! You are amazing, Monica, and part of the reason I am inspired to run! Your blog is so refreshing and real and positive—I love it!

It was pretty cool. I turned my Garmin on about 20 minutes before the start and unfortunately it never got a signal so when I started I thought I hit the start button, but found out right before mile 1 that I had not started it at all so I was about.
Contrary to what we were expecting with fog for most of the race. I started out feeling ok, my back and legs were a bit tight from standing around so I took it slow to start, or so I thought, lol. I actually did quite well the first half of the race, looking back, although I did not feel great at all, my butt hurt pretty much from the get-go and that eventually moved to my hamstrings and it was all I could do to just keep moving.
A lot of my issues are stemming from an anterior pelvic tilt along with one hip that is higher than the other. Around mile 4, is the Disney Concert Hall, which looks so pretty and the Japanese drummers are there too.
They are amazing, I caught a short video as I walked up the hill. One of my absolute favorite spots on the course is the chili cheese dog station at about mile 5. They totally did it up this year with a table and chafing dishes full of food. It is things like this that make LA Marathon so awesome. The spectators really get into it. That being said, I really wish this station was at mile I ran walked from mile 4 on, taking photos, seeing the sites and just having a great time. We ran down Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.
I had a video of this area, but I seem to have lost it. I love coming into Santa Monica, there are so many spectators, I swear this year there were even more than in the past. I know my walk sections were getting longer but I kept moving. Talking to other runners, listening to my audio book, enjoying the sunshine and all the spectators. Around this point there were more and more of them. I chatted with some other runners and just kept chugging along.
Eventually we got down the hill and to the beach. I ran the last mile just trying to keep it together and get to that finish line. When I crossed the line, I was surprised at how quite it was.
I looked for someone I was supposed to meet at the finish but I never saw them so I got my medal and a few photos before going to look for Sean. I got a bunch of post race treats, banana, bagel, Power bars, pretzels, animal crackers, cheese-its, etc. I was in so much pain, I just wanted to sit down.
We got my drop bag at the start-line hospitality truck, this was an awesome perk, it was the first truck!
