Today, I strapped on my skates and headed down to Ocean Blvd. in Long Beach to check out the final stretch of the Long Beach Marathon. It ends up, I live very close to the 25 mile mark. I called
T.O.C. to see if he wanted to come shoot some video but he wasn't around.
So, these phone photos are all I got. It was really fun to skate fast down the middle of a major boulevard. On any given day, hundreds of thousands of cars travel this 4-lane thoroughway. But today, the space was reserved for runners, cyclists and volunteers. Here's a photo of me with one of the volunteers who passed out water. She was a gem and of course she offered me a cup of water after this photo was shot.
I skated from just before the 25 mile mark to the 26 mile mark and back. I cheered the runners and made celebratory noises while listening to my iPod. My playlist for today is almost exactly the same as
the one from Laugh Tour. Hey, it worked once, why not try it again.
