Talking about milestones ... I have signed up for a 1/2 marathon .. in Vegas .. the day before I turn 30! If this isn't a milestone .. I don't know what else to call it. This 1/2 marathon will be significant to me simply because before I turn 30 .. I want to have participated in a 1/2 marathon. And since I visit Las Vegas every couple months .. it would just be the perfect time and place to do it.
They close the whole strip down just for the runners. The race starts at 4:30pm in front of Mandalay Bay. And by the time I finish .. the strip should be dark and lighted .. whats more special than running through the strip at night .. with people cheering and bands playing on the side while runners try and make it to the finish line in front of the Mirage?
I do not have a set training schedule .. yet some people suggest that I do. These runs that I have been participating in ... I have been treating them as my training tool.
Although the registration for the race was the price of an actual ticket from SFO to LAS .. it will all be worth it at the end. To have accomplished a goal that I would have never have thought of doing a few years ago.
