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 day before Halloween on 2011, Los Angeles hosted the annual Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon. My wife Jenny signed me up for the Mini Marathon, 5 kilometers, while she signed up for the half, 13.1 miles. The Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon series draws in a big crowd, often 20,000 to 30,000 runners. It can be very exciting to be surrounded by that many excited runners at the crack of dawn getting ready to run.
