Yesterday I ran the Las Vegas Marathon and it was AWESOME! The course was really cool, we started at Mandalay Bay with fireworks and ran down the entire strip. We did run in the seedy parts of North Las Vegas but with spectators cheering us on the entire 26.2 miles. I was able to shave off 19 minutes from my finishing time at the St. George Marathon in October. I finished in 3 hrs 36 min 53 sec, which qualifies me to run Boston in April, so exciting! Out of 3,517 total marathon finishers, I placed 408 overall, 52nd woman overall and 24th woman in my age group!
My friend Casey ran the half and blew away her goal of finishing in under 2 hours, way to go Case! You rock! I'm so glad we got to go together! Thanks to Jill, Chet, Aidan and Abbey for being there to cheer me on, bells and all. Even though I didn't see you when I ran by, I heard you in my heart! (: It really meant a lot!
My biggest thanks go out to Eric, I COULD NOT have done it without his support and encouragement, really! THANK YOU, We're going to Boston, baby!
