Las Vegas Rock 'N' Roll Marathon and 1/2 Marathon

We just got back from the Las Vegas Rock 'N' Roll Marathon and 1/2 Marathon expo event. It was so much fun. It was the busiest expo we have been to yet (and that's saying something since we have been to Boston too!). With 2 days of nothing more than a quick bathroom break, we are exhausted, but thrilled to have met so many more new runners/friends/i declare! charms customers!

The booth next to ours was the Disney Princess 1/2 marathon folks. Look what they had on display. Is that clever or what? Who knew Cinderella was a runner? Oh, I guess it is in the story. Something about midnight...

It always makes me a little bummed that I am not running too. The buzz and excitement of all those people picking up their packets, getting ready for the big day. Everyone likes to chat about their story, and we love to hear it while we are standing there in the middle of it all. Some people are seasoned and experienced. This is another notch in the belt. Some are newbies, and are so scared they can barely sleep. I can relate to both groups! One way or the other the gun goes off and the runners are on their way!

There is just no way that I could run 26.2 miles after standing on my feet for 10 hours x 2 days, but I still feel a bit left out. Yesterday, our flight left only minutes after the starting gun, and as we flew out over the strip we could see the pack of runners on their way. I was cheering you on from 10,ooo feet. Especially those first timers. What a thrill!
