Big Congrats to Tony for finishing his first LA Marathon in 7:11! He's been walking for almost a year now, and he had decided a month ago to walk the marathon to help raise money for Great Leap. I think he'll write about his experience walking through what he called "colonial LA." We left the house at 5:30 am to drop Tony off at Dodger Stadium. Maiya and I went to breakfast and gorged ourselves, went home, did laundry and hung out.
Then about 1pm, Nobuko came over and we drove to Santa Monica. It took about an hour to get there, but mostly to drive a few blocks just to park the car. We made our way through the traffic of people waiting for friends and family members, went down to the beach party, which was just about over.
Then back upstairs back to meet Corazon, Great Leap's manager who ran the marathon, too! Corazon had been training so we were so proud and excited to see her!
Others who registered under Great Leap were the amazing Lisa Okamoto, Sharon Yamato, and Don Johnson (who we don't actually know).
Another hour in traffic getting out of Santa Monica. Whew. For dinner, Tony ordered Johnnie's Pastrami and onion rings, and I split a chili-cheese fries with Maiya. Shortly after, Tony fell asleep and was out for the night. We're so proud of him!
