well, he's got a pictures and a rack of medals as well, and he's looking forward to breaking a record. >> this is so special. 81-year-old james smith has run every single los angeles marathon ever held and tomorrow will be no different. >> reporter rob hayes has the story. >> reporter: when it comes to the l.a. marathon -- not much has changed over the years. it's still 26.2 miles. it's still open to anybody who pays the entry fee. and it's still the place you'll find james smith plying the course. >> i know. it sounds stupid. and it is. i acknowledge that. it's not the most intelligent thing i've done in my life. >> reporter: that's because most of the people you see here do one l.a. marathon.

smith has done them all. >> i just stuck to it. i've been running since 1972 and done probably, oh, in excess of 100 marlths. and this will be the 33rd l.a. marathon that i've done. >> reporter: it's probably monitor to note that smith turns 81 next week. the retired orange county superior court judge used to do as many as seven marathons a year but these days he only does the l.a. run. unwilling to surrender his status as a legacy runner. one of roughly 140 people who finished every l.a. marathon. >> i sometimes wish i had missed one early on so i wouldn't have to think about keeping on the tradition type of thing. but i did and it's good for me. >> reporter: even though it nearly killed him in 2011 when he fell and hit his head near the 22-mile marker. >> turned out i had a subdural hematoma, ended up three days in intensive care. >> but he finished stubborn as ever as his wife judy would atte

attest. and james would tell you she's in the middle of an even more grueling marathon. >> she's 57 years she's put up with me. >> reporter: and she'll have to put up with at least one more marathon. a victory for smith not maysed by a stopwatch but by the finish line. >> i don't care if i have to time myself with a calendar. i just want to finish it. >> reporter: rob hayes, abc 7 news. >> i love his sense of humor also. >> it's amazing. >> that's going to be drew tuma in a few years. >> drew has run a marathon. i've done a marathon, too in the back of a taxi i've done a marathon. >> i think at that point, though, i'd just sit on the couch by then. >> yeah. >> weatherwise we're tracking clearing skies. but fog will be an issue tomorrow morning in spots. overnight tonight it will get chilly, 30s and 40s will be your temperatures. but we have some fog developing in the delta that will likely spill into the bay and it could be locally dense in some areas. 41 the low in san francisco. about 44 san jose. 33 for napa. we have the fog early on.

midday. we'll call it mostly sunny. but then we'll see more in the way of cloud cover by 4:00. temperatures mainly in the 50s. could see a couple of spots hit 60 degrees. that sun going down tomorrow right after 7:19 p.m. highs on your sunday about 56. in san francisco going about 57, in oakland 60 the high in san jose 59 antioch 60 in fairfield and 57 the high in santa rosa. tomorrow morning fog. partly to mostly cloudy skies in the afternoon. not a totally dry day but dry. spring officially begins tuesday morning and showers arrive and could likely strengthen on wednesday. they depart thursday and we're dry friday and into saturday. >> looks-g drew. thanks. >> time for sports. shu is here. >> what i take from that weather is drew, get my golf in on monday not thursday. >> yeah. but then he'll complain he wants to golf on thursday. >> just checking. >> what makes this tournament so special?

unless you're on the losing end. michigan avoided just that tonight. buzzerbeating three-pointer.

well, the beauty of the ncaa tournament, you can put ten men on a basketball court from any conference and the game is up for grabs. no other sport can claim this. and we had a few great ones today. we tip off with 11 seed loyola chicago. looking to upset the third seed tennessee. eight seconds left. custer has ten points but none more important than this one. ramblers up one. tennessee oust time. up the floor a good look for the win but he can't get it to fall. loyola chicago with another upset heads to the sweet 16. 63-62 the final. michigan taking on houston in the west region. three seconds left. devon davis is going to miss two straight free throws.

but houston still led by two. michigan inbounds the ball from their own end. jordan poole gets it. he's got to drain this three for the win. got it! beats the buzzer. money shot. i love this. michigan advances 64-63 your final. st. mary's still bitter about not making the tournament. lays it in plus one. zags up one. hachimura wanted to pass but instead will shoot three. bulldogs take a six-point lead. ohio sta back into the game but hachimura comes up with the monster block. gonzaga on to the sweet 16 with a 90-84 victory. 6 seed florida taking on texas tech. red raiders up three. inbounds the ball but turn it over. florida gets it and calls time out. so theft ball. nine seconds left. igor kulechov for the tie.

no. but gators get the rebound. allen for a three. oh, he also misses. texas tech hangs on. 69-66 the final. top seed villanova taking on 9 seed alabama in the east region. mikhail bridges led his team with 23 pints. i think he threw down this alley-oop. wildcats up 14. bridges has some range too. 5 of 8 from beyond the arc. he had just one point in the first half. 22 the rest of the way. villanova advances to the sweet 16. 81-58 the final. for the women number one overall seed uconn taking on st. francis. huskies dominated start to finish. samuelsson, her sister played at stanford, had 18 points, and uconn led 55-19 after one quarter. it's more than st. francis had the entire game. bucket in the final seconds of the half gave uconn a 94-31 advantage. uconn would go on to win 140-52. st. francis would shoot 57

threes to no avail. going to take a little break here after that. i don't have to work out tomorrow. >> that's so cute. at arnold palmer's event the bay hill where we have quite a crowd atonight leaderboard, tiger woods six birdies on the day. here on 18 to end his day, 3-under 69. he's five back at 7 under. rory mcilroy, meanwhile, had the round of the day. 5-under 67. birdied two of his last three holes. his approach on the 18 is going to set up that final birdie. don't count him out. he's 10 under two, back of the leader. second-round leader bryson dechambeau couldn't get it going, even par but he's still only one back of the leader heinrich stenson. atonight leaderboard at 12 under. putts like that, second time in four years heading into sunday's fnal round. >> i felt like 7 was within reach. i know i'm four back right now but i'll be five or six by the end of the day and maybe a low one tomorrow will give me a chance to kind of steal one from

behind. let's serve them up. indian wells, men's semis roger federer against korich. 11:00 a.m., early match. set point for federer. too much muster. federer evens the match. shot going to go wide. roger federer advances to the finals with a three-set victory. in the other semi juan martin del potro against milos raonic. del potro breezes through this match. up five games to two. handcuffs his opponent. return goes long. then the match point. raonic will find net. del potro on to the finals. 6-2, 6-3. he'll face roger federer. this abc 7 sports report brought to you by river rock casino. and as i said earlier today, there's no other sport where you can put ten guys on the court and have an evenly matched game. you couldn't pitch somebody from the west coast conference against the s.e.c. in football. they'd kill them.

that's what makes it so exciting. some of these buzzer beatings. i just love it. >> i think he just loves it. >> i can tell. i want to know where he got that towel from. >> i brought it from eric's locker. >> you were in my locker again? oh, man. >> when he dabs his forehead? >> you've got to lock that thing up. >> high ticket item. >> we'll have continued coverage tomorrow. >> yes, we will. thanks for joining us tonight. i'm eric thomas. >> and i'm dion lim. on behalf of all of us here at abc 7 news, thanks so much for joining us. have a wonderful night. >> you're going
