Triumphant return? Well, I haven’t registered yet, but things are shaping up for a trip to my favorite place to take part in one of my favorite things. Running the Strip at Night is amazing, and this time I would be running the Full Marathon.
I took part in the infamous race of 2011.. The one talked about for months based on negative experiences by thousands of runners. Over crowding, under equipped aid stations, lack of barriers between full and half marathon runners, running out of water at the finish, green bananas, the list goes on and on. Let me be clear, I had a great time. It was my third half marathon, I had no issues.
I remember thinking that if I were to go back again, I would run the marathon. Well, that will probably happen. Running this marathon would mean three marathons this Fall. It would also mean two marathons in 14 days. Maniac material? I can do it, I believe in myself, and think it would be an utterly fantastic time to run a full 26.2 in one of my favorite destinations in the world. LAS VEGAS!!!
This is a picture of me after the 2011 Half.
Who wouldn’t want to run…..especially when there are showgirls around!
Now, to book a flight, hotel, car, and register!
Wow. Two marathons in 2 weeks?!?! Superstar! How much fun was the Vegas marathon? Sounds like it would be awesome under the bright lights!
I loved running the half in 2011. From Mandalay Bay down strip to Downtown, and then back. It was amazing! This year would be the Full.
Wow. I’m pumped for you. I might have to add it to the bucket list!!!
When is it?
November 17th
Same as the Rock N Roll here in San Antonio. They must be busy! Well we will be running on the same day. Good luck!
You too!
R n R Vegas is on my list of races to do! I’ll be at R n R San Antonio this year! 2 in two weeks, I can’t wait to hear all about them 🙂
There will be plenty of blogs to read about it. I’m sure. Happy training.
