On Sunday I ran in the Chinatown Firecracker 10K race.
I was surprised to learn that the entire first half of the race would be uphill.
How they managed to fit in two more hills after that was impressive.
I'm glad I did it, and probably the best thing about it was participating in an event with so many people - nearly 1,500 people ran the 10k. It's not often you get such a communal feeling in L.A.
It's called the Firecracker race because for Chinese New Year 100,000

firecrackers are set off to scare away evil spirits.
Even more impressive, the Master of Ceremonies was none other

than Mortal Kombat's Liu Kang !
I finished in 618th* place. Top 50% ! Here's a picture of me at the finish line.
Note the 52 year old woman who came in before me.
Oh yeah, James Remar, the actor who played Lord Raiden was also there.
I beat his time by 9 minutes !!!
