gets blogged!
Went to Vegas the first weekend in December to run the Rock and Roll Half Marathon. SO FUN! Definitely up there as one of my favorites that I have run so far. The run starts at the south end of the strip and goes 2 miles out - then you run ALL the way down the strip, through some shady neighborhoods of Vegas...and end up back on the strip by Treasure Island.
Here is a view of the strip from up above. I am in there somewhere I promise...at least my sister says so :)
After finishing - woot woot! Not my best time, but it was also really windy the last 3 or 4 miles. I did finish in the top 4% of almost 14,000 females so I will call that a win.
We also may have had a little time for some fun :) My sister and her husband met us there and we ate lots of food, gambled (maybe just a smidge - I can neigher confirm nor deny how long I actually sat at the video poker machine) hit David Cooperfield (there was a whole lot of smoldering and very little magic) and just took in the sights.
There were advertisements everywhere for a big fight that was taking place the following weekend. My sister and I laughed and laughed because we thought it could be a photo shopped version of our husbands ) What do you think?
It's weird, but a little part of me feels like Vegas is "home" since we spent a lot of time there when I was a kid. We had family that lived there and I would LOVE to visit.
I will definitely run this race again next year! Who's in?
I do know in that picture you are somewhere near the bottom right...instead of Where's Waldo-it's Where's Janae? Fun, fun!!!
