Victor Ortiz & the Magdaleno Brothers will Run a Marathon & 5K

Victor Ortiz and the Magdaleno brothers will be running in the fourth annual Allstate Life InsuranceSM Los Angeles 13.1 Marathon® and 5K on January 13th.

Sounds like it's gonna be awesome!

Is he gonna try to headbutt his way to the finish line?

Is running a marathon a good thing for a boxer? I guess Ortiz stays in shape and no damage to his jaw but long distance runners are not built like boxers.

I don't think he plans on winning or changing sports.

Which long distance runners are you talking about? I don't think Ortiz plans to break an Olympic record. People of all shapes and sizes complete marathons. Build and training will affect how fast you do it. Frank Bruno ran the London marathon, and he was built like a tank.

Learn the difference between a fun runner and somebody doing a long distance run exclusively as their sport... ;)
