Las Vegas Half Marathon!!! Dec 4, 2011

Las Vegas!!! My home away from home! I know no one will believe me, but it is finally starting to loose it charm for me. Who would have thought. This weekend the Klisser and I headed out to the LV strip for the LV Rock and Roll half marathon! (2nd year in a row doing it, this time the race was at night!!) What an adventure! Not only was the half marathon going on this weekend, but the Rodeo was also in town! I have never seen so many hats and cowboy boots in my life!


Kim, Tracy and I at the Expo. We got out numbers!! Ready to rock the strip! Kim, we wish you could have run with us!!



After the Expo Mishella, Laurie, Travis, Greg and I decided to hit the strip for some "dehydration"

Saturday night Greg, Travis and I went to see KA at the MGM! Most amazing show ever!

Sunday morning Greg and I took it easy and just relaxed. We went and had breakfast and came back to watch some football in the hotel. Since the race didn't start till 5:30, we had a little time on our hands. We finally went down to Tracy and Aarons room around 3 to head over to Mandalay Bay!

 Let me tell you, it was 4pm and freezing outside!! We were only imagining what it was going to be like running....

 Walking to the starting line at Mandalay Bay

It looked fun at the time!

The girls at the starting line! Tracy, Sharon, Leslie and I! Tracy and Leslie took off down the strip! Sharon and I hung back and took the race at a slower pace.

Way to go Tracy!!! Personal Record of 2 hours and 4 minutes!! We were so proud of you! I can't even imagine running at that speed!

The street was filled with runners!

Somewhere down in Old Vegas, one of the many quickie wedding chapels!

I did it!! Completed in 2 hours and 40 minutes. I had a hard time motivating myself to train this year, so I was impressed just to finish! Next year I need to remember to train!

What a great weekend with friends and family! I can't wait for next year....I think I have the Klisser convinced to do it with me!!
