The guy (don't know his name) who owns the Dodgers now owns the rights to the L.A. Marathon. First the L.A. Marathon was in March, then they moved it to President's Day weekend. When the owner received pressure from the mayor the city counsel, he changed it again to Memorial Day weekend. Who do you know that is going to run in all of that heat? I'm not. I am so disappointed because I live here in L.A., so naturally I would want to do my first marathon in my hometown. Oh well, I guess my first marathon will be San Diego Rock n' Roll in June?
I feel sorry for people who had made travel arrangements and now have to either cancel or pay a second penalty.

That stinks! But if it's any consolation, I hear the "rocknroll" series events are tons of fun! Plus, there are worse placed to do a marathon other than San Diego, right?

It's okay to get ticked about it, I'd be too, but remember, you'll have fun and achieve no matter where you'll run!

Donna, you are so right. That is why I am going to aim for the San Diego Rock n' Roll. My running coach said that San Diego has more fan support than the Huntington Beach Surf Series. I wanted to do their half because their medals are so cool.
