Marathon? What Marathon?

Yes boys and girls, after SIX MONTHS of training and, I'd rather not say how many dollars, the Pasadena marathon was CANCELLED due to the smoke caused by the wildfires!
This heading was on Yahoo front page:
"Wildfires cause unhealthy air throughout Los Angeles"
Unhealthy Air? In L.A.? Isn't unhealthy air kind of an oxymoron when discussing air quality on the finer Los Angeles area? Oh well, they are now rushing to figure out when to re-schedule the event before 8,000 angry joggers/bicyclists storm the Pasadena council chambers to demand their money back. I'm sure it will all work out, but it was a real let down after Kitty and I worked pretty hard to get to that level . We'll keep everyone updated!
