Running 5 in 9, what a way to make yourself get going. Running 5 (half marathons) in 9 (weeks), seems like such a crazy idea. Finished the half in Vegas in 3:16.23. Not a PR but quite the accomplishment. I've never ran 13.1 miles on popsicles for legs. It was sooo cold this morning. It took 45 minutes from the initial start until my wave crossed the start line. So that was 45 minutes of some slow moving. Brr....
Vegas put on quite the show with the inaugural Rock N'Roll Marathon. Lots of fireworks, showgirls, siberian tigers, and skydivers. And that was just at the start line! Lots of folks in various costumes and a nice crowd of people to keep my slow self company. Many spectators along the course from those who traveled to runners, to those who probably just left a bar and had a little too much to drink and stumbled outside realizing it was daylight! Hopefully next year they fix the water stations so they run more smoothly for us slow folks. Not surprisingly the one aide station run by the folks in military uniform was the smoothest one. Next stop, maybe Phoenix in 6 weeks? I'll see how the recovery goes.
