LA Marathon 2010
I Love LA – The LA Marathon organizers stepped it up this year with an all new course that truly reflected what LA is all about: Dodger Stadium, Downtown, Sliverlake, Echo Park, Hollywood Blvd., The Sunset Strip, West Hollywood, Beverly Hill and Century City… At least that how far I get in PART 1. LA has a lot of ground to cover in less than 10 minutes for YouTube and I couldn’t do it so, when you finish this video look for PART 2 up soon.

Sole Runners/SoCalrunning.com members Wholistic Aid Station at Mile 18 with Coach Gary
Coach Gary and volunteers will set up an aid station near the AMC theaters at the Century City Shopping Center. He may be a little west on Santa Monica Blvd. He is bringing watermelon, red stuff drinks and more. If you want something you have to wear your Sole Runners shirt or tell him you are a SoCalRunning.com member.
Volunteers needed. To get all this stuff out, set up on the street and to cheer the runners on.
Arrive around 9:15 am, and we should be done around 12:30 pm. It looks like the easiest parking will be in the Century City Shopping Center parking structure. Enter from the south.

Catalina Marathon 2010
This is my video of the Catalina Marathon 2010. I tried to give you a better idea of the course terrain. I know you can look at an elevation chart but I point out many of the hardest hills, how I run the course and how often I walk. I also interview plenty of great people and give you an idea of just some of the views.
This is Part 1 of the Catalina Marathon Weekend. I am working on more interviews and out takes to be posted soon.
Please leave a comment of what you thought of the race.

My Catalina Marathon Garmin Data
So now I know it is almost 4,000 feet of elevation gain and 4,000 feet of loss over the entire length of the race. When you look at my heart race you’ll probably call me a sandbagger but hey, I was making one of my race movies and interviewed some really cool people.
