So I've been training hard for about six weeks for the inauguaral Pasadena Marathon. This involves some major running as well as a really stringent diet. That's the reason I haven't been posting anything recently. I've been eating salads and protein only. Can't trust restaurants with their yummy dishes.

I've got about a week left before the Pasadena Marathon. I am running it with my brother next Sunday. I'm pretty excited about it. This is the inaugural race and I am committed to running it or at least participating every year until I die. They've got a full marathon, a half marathon, 5K, 10K, bike ride, a walk and other things I'm sure.

The Santa Anita Mall in Arcadia had a nice 2 hour trick or treat session on Halloween that is safe, fun and easy for kids. So me, my wife, brother and sister in law headed over there to pick up some candy. More on that later. After our two hours of trick or treating we grabbed dinner at Wood Ranch BBQ.
