I think the most challenging part of
00:11
running the marathon is the mental
00:12
aspect because you know you've trained
00:14
up into this point in order to make sure
00:17
that everything goes right but you know
00:19
at some point you know your body is
00:23
telling you to stop running these over
00:47
your Tompkins ania team my son had his
00:50
fragile X syndrome which is a genetic
00:52
disorder and so he's kind of our
00:54
inspiration
00:57
ladies and gentlemen every year
01:12
something different I am ready I feel
01:15
like I'm ready all right but you never
01:17
know what happens on the court you just
01:19
being in the moment
01:22
[Music]
01:25
yeah
01:29
[Applause]
01:32
a Bosch post in LA Marathon we're here
01:38
at the iconic
01:38
and the epic rodeo driver you can find
01:41
designers at YSL Chanel products you
01:43
name it they're all here
01:45
I made this sign so everyone would think
01:48
that they're my favorite runner it's
01:50
just kind of breaks up their monotony of
01:52
step after step after step when people
01:55
are cheering for them first part of the
01:57
road is a people that is 14 each mile
02:00
you cannot fail you can it's a turn here
02:04
we are with friends and family at the
02:05
finish line the LA Marathon with over
02:08
24,000 runners they did their best and
02:10
they got here within six hours just
02:12
about one thing we can say is that the
02:14
LA Marathon has taught us that by the
02:16
time spectator sport jump in there get
02:18
in there
02:19
you can finish the marathon you'll feel
02:21
better actually they compete in school
02:22
it gives you more motivation it's just
02:24
helped them get more
02:27
confidence I think it's a if it's an
02:29
opportunity everybody should should go
02:31
for you know once you're older like me
02:34
it's harder to convince yourself to on
02:36
that distance

At 5:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 18, more than 24,000 athletes from 50 states and more than 63 countries gathered at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles to run more than 26 miles throughout LA to the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica.
