Long Beach Marathon

I ran the Long Beach International Half-Marathon last weekend. I recommend it. The course was nice and the event organization was flawless from my perspective.

I ran the half in 1:39:42 per plan. My hip flexor was really painful afterwards but did not affect the 13.1 mile run. I'm still struggling with my weight and the hip flexor. I need to eat less and eat better plain and simple.

I'll likely have to cancel my appearance at the Sacramento International Marathon due to a business trip to Dubai; poor me. I'm looking for an event of any distance in the UAE to coincide with my visit. How cool would that be?
