Is anyone else doing the Las Vegas half marathon the first weekend in December? I haven't done a half marathon since September of last year, but I am really excited to be getting back in shape and take on this challenge! It's being run at night, which I think will be so fun with the bright lights of the hotels!

    I was considering it, I've heard it's really fun! Unfortunately, not exactly in the budget this year. But I know you'll have a great time!

    just because I'm a nice guy, I'll offer you my top three marathon tips for race day free of charge!

    1) don't go out too fast
    2) don't go out too fast
    3) don't go out too fast

    I have done a bunch of half marathons but I have never taken on the full. I signed up for it in San Diego once, then they offered the half and I backed out lol. I would love to do a full, maybe in the springtime. I am coming off a foot injury, but I am planning on doing Vegas, maybe PF Changs in Phoenix (I live in AZ) and I am signed up for Tinkerbell the last weekend of January. I love doing them, but my foot is making it more challenging. Igained 30 pounds while not running, and I have taken off 20 of it already, I am hoping to get 10 more off by Vegas, then I still have weight to lose. As long as I am running, I tend not to have too much difficulty maintaining, but it's not easy to lose!

    It's fun to see others are going to be there :)

    If I can find cheap airfare to Vegas for me and the hubs I'd love to do it. We are running the Marine Corps Marathon at the end of October. Running the strip at night sounds like so much fun!!

    Good luck!!
