IT WOULD BE UP TO BARR TO

PASS THAT ALONG TOCONGRESS

FOR POSSIBLE IMPEACHMENT .

THOUSANDS ARE LACED UP,

THEY'RE READY, SOME HAVE

ALREADY TAKEN OFF FROM THE

STARTING LINE FOR THE LA

MARATHON.

IT'S NOW UNDERWAY AND KCAL

9'S JOY BENEDICT IS LIVE AT

THE STARTING LINE.

SO MANY PEOPLE STILL TAKING

OFF.

WE GOT A LOT OF HOPE THAT

YOU'RE RUNNING THEY ALREADY

HAVE RUNNERS TAKE OFF .

WHEELCHAIRS TOOK OFF AND NOW

THIS IS THE SECOND WAVE OF

RUNNERSGETTING READY TO START

OUT THERE 26.2 MILE TREK .

A LOT OF ENERGY OUT HERE,

A LOT OF EXCITEMENT AND A LOT

OF FOLKS LOOK FORWARD TO THIS

EVERY YEAR.

THIS IS THE 34TH ANNUAL LA

MARATHON AND THE 10TH YEAR IN

A ROW YOU THE SAME ROUNDS

FROM DODGER STADIUM ALL THE

WAY TO THE SEA IS WHAT THEY

CALL IT SANTA MONICA SO IT

REALLY IS A GREAT EVENT WITH

24,000 PEOPLE HERE.

WE'RE TALKING TO FOLKS

GETTING READY AND THEY WERE

LINING UP.

I'VE GOT TO BE HONEST, THEY

WERE KIND OF NERVOUS.

ARE YOU EXCITED FOR TODAY?

I AM AND STILL NERVOUS.

26 MILES.

I HIT THE WALL LAST YEAR AT

19 AND I HAD TO WALK A LITTLE

BIT SO I'M HOPING THIS YEARIS

MORE TO MY ADVANTAGE .

WHAT DO YOU SAY WHEN YOU

CROSS THE FINISH LINE?

FEELS GOOD TO BE DONE.

FEELING GOOD COMES A FEW DAYS

LATER.

WHEN WE CAN WALK AGAIN.

THE TRUTH IS THEY ARE

DOING IT.

LOOK AT THIS MAP BECAUSE IF

YOU'RE NOT RUNNING, LET'S BE

HONEST, YOU DON'T LIKE THE LA

MARATHON.

IT DOES TAKE UP SO MUCH SPACE

WHEN IT COMES TO ROADS.

THERE ARE ON RAMPS AND OFF

RAMPS CLOSED THROUGH THE DAY

BECAUSE OF THE LA MARATHON SO

TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION

AS YOU'RE HEADING OUT AND

ABOUT BUT THEY DO OPEN THEM

AS THE MAJORITY OF THE

RUNNERS PASSED BY SO THAT'S

GOOD NEWS .

YOU CAN EXPECT ESPECIALLY ON

THE WEST SIDE CLOSER TO SANTA

MONICA ALONG THE 405 A LOT OF

THOSE ON AND OFF RAMPS REMAIN

CLOSED UNTIL 5:00 SOSOMETHING

YOU NEED TO TAKE INTO

CONSIDERATION .

SOME OF THEM LOOK SO

ENERGETIC AND READY TO GET

GOING AND SOME ALREADY LOOKED

A LITTLE TIRED .

THEY'RE JUST GETTING

STARTED AND THERE IN THIS BIG

GROUP SO THEY CAN'T REALLY

BREAK AWAY UNTIL THEY GET OUT

OF IT.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE A FAST WALK

COMING UP THIS HILLBEFORE YOU

EVEN HIT THESTREET ON STADIUM

WAY SO IT'S A SLOW START .

I FEEL A LITTLE BETTER

HEARING THAT .

YOU'VE GOT TO LISTEN TO

THE DELL, HE IS THE BIGGEST

CHEERLEADER OUT HERE.

HE'S BEEN SCREAMING NONSTOP
