Yesterday, we drove the marathon route. Starting from Dodger Stadium, we then headed through Chinatown, by Olvera Street, passed Little Tokyo, connected to Sunset through Hollywood, through Beverly Hills (via Rodeo Drive), passed the VA Hospital in Westwood, then finished down San Vicente to Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica. Here's the course map if you're interested:http://www.lamarathon.com/event/course-map/
Driving the route was helpful to Peggy and Cindy even if some of the hills seemed overwhelming. But knowing that they have the final stretch, which is mostly downhill over the last three miles should help to get them over the humps.
Mike and Rick now have a better idea of where we can plan to meet up with the ladies to encourage and exchange supplies. Less than 4 weeks until the race!
It's a looooooooong distance no matter how you look at it. But by God's grace and strength, Cindy and Peggy are going to do it!
