At the end of December Joe and I will celebrate 15 years of marriage. Several months back Joe asked me what I wanted for our anniversary. I told him what I really wanted was for him to run with me in
Las Vegas for the Rock 'n' Roll 1/2 Marathon. Joe was reluctant to agree but I was quick to sign him up. The marathon and 1/2 marathon started at night and
Las Vegas Boulevard (the strip) was closed to all traffic. Apparently, the casinos complained about losing millions of dollars and the newspapers reported that this will be the last year for the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon and 1/2 Marathon to be at night. I hope the reports are not true.
Joe and I had hoped for some warmer weather. When we arrived in
Las Vegas on Dec. 3rd it was mid 30's and 15 mph winds. The run was on Dec. 4
th. The winds did manage go down some but it was much colder and windier than we had anticipated. Joe managed to train for the 1/2 marathon during football season which was quite an accomplishment. He was pleased with his time considering he averaged two running days per week leading up to the run. I was pleased with my time too. I was a little nervous about the night run as I always run early in the morning. We had a great time but, as always, we were glad to get home to the kiddos.
