Better Late than Never: Long Beach Marathon Weekend Part 2

In random order again, here are some more pictures from my marathon weekend.


Bubba Gump Shrimp was a sponsor of the runners expo. Forrest was at the expo giving out chocolate. I snapped a quick photo of Sara with Forrest while she was trying out those snazzy orange Brooks running shoes.
Forrest, Sara

This photo was taken the day after the marathon. Sara and I both ran the marathon. It was my first and her 39th (yikes!). We put our cameras on top of a trash can with a 10 sec. timer to snag this shot. (We didn't trust the homeless guys with our cameras.) Do you know how difficult it is to walk a few feet in front of the camera to take this shot with a timer after running a marathon? Very difficult! It was a good shot of us. So, the pain was worth it.
Me, Sara






Before heading back home, Sara and I visited the Long Beach aquarium. Pretty cool pictures of a baby shark. What they do is carefully cut open the shark egg and replace the cut egg shell with a clear plastic sheet so that the baby shark is protected. This way, we can see the shark develop while keeping the baby shark safe. So cool!
I really like this quote
