Road Runner
4 Dec
I’m leaving today for Las Vegas to run Sunday’s Rock ‘N Roll Half Marathon on the Vegas strip. Both Vegas and running a half will be a first, and I hope to survive both.
So far I’ve survived running in the rain, the wind, the snow, and the ice, so whatever lies ahead can’t be that bad. A big part of my life for the last six months has been getting myself in shape for this and following a gradual training plan, so I’ve put in some miles around our town (which provides me an opportunity to show off a few photos of Livingston). We have a nice park in town, with a short walking path along the Yellowstone River.
I’ve also perfected my “don’t mess with me” pedestrian face for running on the road. Even in small towns people can be oblivious or rude or both to runners and walkers, and I’ve developed a near phobia of cars. Doug and I’ll take walks in the evening, and if I even hear a car I jump. So, thankfully, the course in Vegas will be automotive-free. Looking forward to observing lots of funny stuff to post on the blog next week!
Don't get distracted when you run past those casinos!
Wow! I’m impressed. But then I’m impressed if I get out of my pajamas on the weekend by two. Look forward to your take on Vegas. You go girl!
