Vegas
So, yesterday I took the plunge and registered for the Rock N' Roll Marathon in Las Vegas on December 2. It will, hands down, be the biggest race I've ever run. Thousands of people, the Vegas strip at night, bands playing at every miles marker. Can't wait! Now, all I have to do is....train. I'm in decent running shape. I could knock out a half if I really had to, but I'm not in marathon shape. Ahead of me now lie: weekday speed workouts after work when all I really want to do is sit on the couch with a beer, alarm clocks going off at 5:00 AM on weekends so I can do long runs, and countless days of aching hamstrings, sore feet and tight calves. I can't wait.

Good luck!! I hate running and I couldn't imagine running a marathon. The Vegas marathon sounds fun though. All the hipe and excited will just fuel your adrenaline. I hope you do well and stay motivated.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! All things aside I've read that the Rock N' Roll Marathons are great to run. Now get out there and get the miles in so you will be ready for that PR.
ReplyDeleteYes, good luck! I don't suppose one would say "break a leg" to a runner!
