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.
