Jannie has run 2 LA Marathons, and many half marathons. His first LA Marathon was in 2005, when he decided to run it 30 days before. Jannie's ‘can-do’ training plan was: run 13 miles, run 20 miles 2 weeks later, and then kaboom, run the marathon. Jannie was inspired by his friend, Richard Houchin, who had just completed bicuspid aortic surgery. Jannie ran for the newly established organization, "Bicuspid Aortic Foundation" to spread the word about this rarely diagnosed heart problem (which John Ritter had).
