Yesterday at the finish line this crew waited fir my and congratulated me with hugs and smiles. I'm a luck dude to have such good people in my life. Even on the course I had my buddies all over the place. I couldn't get enough cheering and hugs along the way. Hmm so now I'm ready for my next adventure, after this healing cycle. Until then I'll be volunteering as much as I could.

📸 @kkapinos still smiling. Ok so first full marathon. Got to the starting line early and ate a bagel, then waited for everyone else. It was exciting the adrenaline was kicking I felt good, well except a knee issue fir the past couple weeks. I haven't run in a couple weeks so I already knew I was gonna pay dearly. But smiled every mile through the pain. I started off and ran a couple miles with my friend Liz then she went along her merry way. I was feeling pretty good then I seen that hill at mile 4. I shortened my stride and took that hill. Right after that a crushed a little to catch my breath. After I reached the half point my legs where getting tired. By mile 21 my quads started cramping. I opened my aid bag and forgot my salt pills. I yelled oh FUCK. Well walked it off and the rest of the race I walked most of it. So I figured why not enjoy it. I had a Dunkin donut. A bunch of twizzlers. At the Grvl and rundalay area they had beer 😂 I settled for water. Well ok I got to mile 26 and did a Harlem shuffle through the finish line and completed my first full marathon, now I'm finally going to take time to let my knee heal, the next 4 to 6 weeks I'm going to be ready for NYC marathon in November thank you everyone for the support yesterday. #Run #Runner #SmilesAndMiles #RunHappy #FriendLessPete #BeatYesterday #Garmin #GarminFitness #HSHIVE #HoneyStinger #StingorBeeStung #TheOriginalEnergyWaffle #NuunLife honeystinger.com #NRC #JustDoIt zensah.com #zensah #withoutlimitz #xc #running #fitlife #teamzensah #athlete #5ko #brandambassador (at Finish Line of Los Angeles Marathon)

When your surrounded by positive great awesome vibes. There are snails everywhere. Hanging with a future bad ass runner. It's a awesome life we lead and running brings us together. @book.of.claudia just finished running surf city then ran the speed project and now she's gonna be frolicking the LA Marathon, total Brady mode. Then my friend @jefferson_720 hasn't been running long but is a natural. Keep a eye on this one. It's his first full. I met him at San Francisco half last year. Ugh doesn't even seem like he's trying, and he's always running with his shortcake. In a couple she'll be bad ass. It's in her genes. Ok let's bring the noise and do this. #LAmarathon2017 #LAMARATHON #GoRunLa #Run #Runner #SmilesAndMiles #RunHappy #FriendLessPete (at Los Angeles Marathon)

Ok everyone stop put the brakes on and rethink. You are a person that is going to run 26.2 miles this Sunday. Stop doubting yourself. Stop telling yourself oh what if I'm not as fast as I want to be. What if I'm last. What if I don't make it. Ugh I didn't train enough. I could have done better. People are watching me. there are many more and I'm sure we could go on. SO STOP tell yourself fck that. I'm going to do my best. I'm gonna smile the whole way. 😁tell yourself the only person I'm racing is myself. If someone passes you, tell them good job. Get it. Woot woot. If you pass someone. Tell them good job. See you at the after party, I'll save you a beer and pizza 🍕 Don't be your worst enemy and worry about what time you are going to finish or what others think. Run your race at your pace and pat yourself on the back. If you don't I'll pay you on the back and big hugs. Because you are doing something other people only dream of. SO PUT ON THE BRAKES and start your day over. And tell yourself. I'm a person of dignity and worth. Fck wat everyone else thinks. Today is better then yesterday. Love you all and can't wait to see all of you. #Run #Runner #SmilesAndMiles #RunHappy #FriendLessPete #BecauseIGiveAFuck (at Los Angeles Marathon)

I'm gonna go with what garmin says this Sunday for LA Marathon. Garmin don't lie 😳 #Garmin #GarminFitness 😂😂😂😂😂 laughed so hard almost shit 💩 myself (at Dream World)

[slow-poke-50]

Ok spent 40 minutes on my indoor bike. I hate it but it's something that has to be done. So this is the second time I stayed on for 40 minutes. And got almost a extra mile out of it. I sweated my cahoonas off but wasn't thirsty at all. I use to drink at least a whole bottle of water now I don't even get thirsty. I never thought I would ever not need water 💦 we'll progress takes time. Oh did I tell you after this little workout I took a nice sweet ass shower and ate 3/4's of that garden fresh pizza from papa johns, @papajohns should sooner my ass at races. I eat a lot of pizza 🍕 😂 anyway everyone have a great night and continue hydrating and eating pizza 🍕 #Run #Runner #SmilesAndMiles #RunHappy #FriendLessPete #BeatYesterday #Garmin #GarminFitnes #MovieNight (at Da Crib)

Today's quote. It's just that simple. Don't be that Dick on race day. If you are gonna walk any part of a race at any race, step to the side, and walk 🚶🏻🚶🏻‍♀️all your heart desires. Oh don't stop dead in the middle of the street to take a fckin selfie 🤳🏼 people are trying to get through. Oh here's the best one. Why are you standing in the middle of the street at the water station drinking water. And stop farting 💨 while running in front of me. And watch those snot rockets 🚀 there are other people around you. Your not the only one on the course. Oh here's the best one yet. If your bib has you in corral 20. WTF are you doing with the elite runners 😂 if they placed you in the wrong corral then more power to you. Get that shit changed at the expo if available. 😂 ok well next Sunday as always it's gonna be a cluster fck in the beginning, like every major race. So let's try to no be dicks. I'm thinking of drawing a dick on my thumb, so if you see me give someone a thumbs up. 👍🏼 there is a reason 😂 let's have a good race 🏁 #DontBeADick (at LA Marathon - Finish Line Festival)

Lentils and macaroni. Best of two worlds. So this is how my day went. Went to do some track and it's still closed. So of course it's getting hot out so just went home and wanted to wait til later. But I'm impatient, so got on my indoor bike and just ride away. If you didn't know I been running in and off with a hurt right knee since June of last year 😂😂 I learned that if I rest it I could run then rest it and run again but the problem is still there. But this week it's just not getting right. So after LAM my next race will be San Diego in June. That's the one that hurt me last year 😂 but I'll run smarter. I'm also putting together my training program for NYC marathon. This time I'm smarter. My training program for LA just had miles on it. With nothing about pace and different track workouts etc... so every training run was a race 🤦🏻‍♂️ but I took a class about running and learned that there is so much more. Like different cycles of training. And different paces and you should not train while injured. But that's another story 😉. And what I learned also is a lot of people are misinformed about training. Each individual is different and each has different needs and each has different opinions. So to be a success in New York I dropped a lot of races. And here In LA my goal changed to finish 💪🏼 but you never know what happens on race day. I always surprise myself. Ok the count down is here see you all next weekend. Oh and 40 minutes is the longest I did on my bike ever and wasn't even thirsty. So I'm doing something right 👨🏻‍🎓#Run #Runner #SmilesAndMiles #RunHappy #FriendLessPete #BeatYesterday #Garmin #GarminFitness (at Da Crib)
