26 Mile Pictures, Part 1
From the 26 miler on November 17. We ran from Marina del Rey to Hermosa Beach and back.
 |
The waiting begins... "The run will start prompty at 7:00" we were told. Our group got on the road at 8:23.
|
 |
All of the Saturday training sites came together for this run. My cheap camera doesn't have a wide angle or you would see that there were a lot more people than this out there. |
 |
2000 marathon alumni Anita comes out to volunteer and cheer on the masses.

 |
Bob "One Tough Pirate" Bowers and me.
|
 |
I'm not exactly the most photogenic person in the world. |
 |
Finally... we approach the start. This is a big group we formed so we could start sooner but broke into two smaller groups by the first mile.
|
 |
Bob gives Kerry a high-five.
|
 |
Meanwhile, Bob's dog Tiny has the toughest job of the day, laying there and looking pretty.
|
 |
Mark scans the beach for surfer boys.
|
 |
We're about to leave the bike path (much to the relief of the cyclists) but the plate in Kerry's head is making her point towards magnetic north.
(Thanks to Anita for this picture!) |
