The San Diego Rock & Rock Marathon got me pumped up for LA! It was a super fun race. I only did the Marathon relay, but I was able to run with the marathoners and half marathoners, on the closed down freeway, no less. There were bands at every mile, playing mostly Gen Xesque music. The best part: costumes galore! It is a tradition at the Rock & Roll race events to dress like an ass. It is not only encouraged, it is celebrated. I saw Fred & Wilma, Captain America, Wonder Woman, Superman and an array of strangeness. And...we received a free beer at the end. Who could ask for anything more!?

DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO FINISH AHEAD OF A COSTUMED RUNNER
Because being outkicked by Elmo is too much to bear.
