Off I go in my new running shoes... yes, Aunt Pen is training for the LA Marathon. Last Friday I covered 11 miles. And about 7 weeks to goI had been sitting with my sister Rikki on the couch watching TV - we saw an ad for coverage of the LA Marathon, March 4. I said to her,"I'm going to do my first marathon when I'm sixty." (I had just turned 58) She said, "Why wait?" So I started training the very next day. Feels pretty darn good.
