Las Vegas, Nevada


Viva! Las Vegas! Went to Sin City to celebrate my 33rd B-day and run in a half marathon. I definitely did not prepare like I should have for the half, but I managed to finish, jogging about 7miles and walk/jogging the last half. Kate, Kristall, and Jason were all nice or crazy (depending on how you look at it) enough to run with me.

(I really wanted to find a party hat for my b-day, but had to go with a St. Patty's day one)

The half marathon course started at Mandalay Bay went down Las Vegas Blvd, over to the Fremont District and back towards Mandalay. Running down the strip and seeing the lights of Vegas was a pretty neat course.


There were 45,000 people running which made it nearly impossible to run at times. Bands were set up along the course to play music for us "runners" I found that most of the time they weren't playing when I went by, which I found to be very frustrating.


Of course couldn't go to Vegas without doing a little gambling and having a some fun. Wish I could say that I won big, but no such luck. Thanks to my family, Kristall and Jason, Robbie and Nicole, Lela, Mark for all the fun.

It's Christmas time so a little holiday spirit Vegas style.

As always has a lot of fun! Next year I'll have to prepare better. Anyone interested in running next time?
