Pasadena Marathon Bike Tour
I’m a little late in getting this up but it’s been a busy few weeks working on projects and traveling for the Memorial holiday, plus it took a while to get my video completed. Anyway on May 20th we attended the 2012 Pasadena Marathon, sponsored by Kaiser Permanente.
Wild Wild West Marathon
This weekend we attended the 34th Annual Wild Wild West Marathon that took place in the foothills of Mt. Whitney in Lone Pine, California. A trail race event that has four different run distances; a 5k, 10 mile, full marathon at 26.2, and a 50k marathon. A challenging trail course with some good elevation going from around 5,100 feet at the start, to 6,500 feet on the second peak, all the way down to 3,700 foot elevation to the finish line.
Weekend Running
This past weekend we attended two running race events, back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday. At first I wasn’t sure if I could handle two races in a row, but now that I’ve completed both I can say that I’m glad we did it, we had a lot of fun. Even though I’m sore this morning it was a good challenge to push my body further into better shape and it made for a great experience.
Other Lives
This past week I discovered music artist Other Lives from a Facebook ad. Strange, as I’m not one to click on ads, but this one mentioned something about how Radiohead loves Other Lives so much that they have them as their opening act on our current Radiohead tour. As a fan of Radiohead I figured why not, I’ll check it out.
34th Annual Firecracker Run
Today on February 12th 2012, I participated and completed my 8th 5k event run in the 34th Annual Firecracker 5k/10k Run, located in our very own Chinatown in the City of Angels (as I like to call Los Angeles). It was a great run and we had a lot of fun. They also have a 30 mile and 20 mile bike ride on Saturday (day before the run) that I was going to sign up for but it was sold out. I’ll definitely participate in it next year as I’m looking for more bike events, especially any mountain biking events.
The Duke Spirit: Bruiser
The English alternative rockers, The Duke Spirit, have rolled out their third album, Bruiser. A solid collection of songs and melodies that has kept me captivated over the last month with regular listening, especially in the car. Their sound is a unique blend of grungy psychedelic rock with harmonic melodies and soulful singing lead by female vocalist Liela Moss.
