Going the distance at LA Marathon
Arianna Kessler relaxes shortly after finishing the Los Angeles Marathon on St. Patrick's Day 2024.
I'm donning my Proud Papa hat to share the news that my older daughter Arianna completed her second marathon on Sunday in Los Angeles in a little more than 5 1/2 hours.
Ari, who is a teacher in New York, trained hard through the winter to be prepared for the challenge presented by the marathon.
She paced herself well during the race to make sure that she'd have enough in the tank to finish the race in relatively good shape, and she accomplished that goal.
After the race, she went to a place to eat on a crowded St. Patrick's Day afternoon wearing her marathon medal, and she and her friends were admitted without what would have been a long wait because the owner was impressed by her medal.
Ari ran her first marathon in May of 2022 in Providence, R.I. The post on that race can be found on this blog.
