Your blog host to participate in Pasadena Marathon

With Janette Williams reporting today that the Pasadena Marathon has officially sold out of spaces (even after adding some additional spots) now is a good time to announce that I will be participating.

Though not in the really hard races- I will actually only be doing the bike marathon. For any of you who don't know much about biking, 26 miles is not considered a very long bike ride by any stretch of the imagination. For me, it is pretty long though. I'll be taking it slow

I should be easily recognizable for any of you spectators as the lone participant in the race not wearing spandex..... and also as the guy most likely bringing up the rear. Still, the idea of biking on the city streets with no car traffic is very exciting.

On a related note, I have been light on the blogging recently because I've had a cold and have been missing work. This is related because A) I have not been on my bike for almost two weeks now and B) I may still actually be dealing with the cold on Sunday. Neither factor bodes well for the already-likely prospect of me finishing last in the race. Fortunately, I'm just out there to have a good time.
