We also asked students about the 18-mile run, and one student named Anthony C., currently in his second year
doing Students Run LA said “I’m kind of nervous even though it’s my second year.” Marvanna M. talked about the slight difficulty in the practice runs with the pain from running long distances.
Ms. Perez, a science teacher and a coach for SRLA had this to say about this year’s kids participating in SRLA: “We have a great group of students that are dedicated to completing the LA marathon, and I see a lot of dedication.”
A new race began, and Andrew S. talked about some short hills at the start. A loop at 9 miles made the whole race 18 miles long. They said that after that point, running on the hills started to hurt.
