Start line
Just starting off on the paved portion of the race. There were 1100 runners between the half marathon, relay and 5k.
Yes, there was a full on bag pipe player
So focused
Beautiful Lake Mead behind me
The lady behind me was wearing orange snake skin print spandex, SEXY!
Crossing the FINISH LINE!!!
There's Kass
Kass just coming out of one of the tunnels
This was a St. Patricks Day event so almost everyone was wearing green and some people got pretty decked out, like this guy
And this chick
A trip to Vegas is not complete until you have seen Elvis
And check out these little dude's bookin it, I'm not sure if they were in the half marathon or not, probably more likely that they did the relay or the 5k, but either way that's pretty impressive
This race was FUN, EXCITING, GRUELING and extremely challenging for me. I was pretty ok the first 8 miles, the next 2 started getting really hard and the last 3 miles may have been the most physically challenging experience of my life, next to natural childbirth. I had 2 goals going into this race, I wanted to cross the finish line and run the whole time, I did both. When I finished I felt so amazing, I was so proud of myself. I set a goal, worked hard to achieve it and I did it. I finished in 2 hours 36 minutes. Which was great for me and my first race. WHAT A AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!

Congratulations! What a huge accomplishment. Is this your first of many or your last? I'm sure that was fun to do it with Kass. I miss both of you so much!
Congrats to both of you! That's a great time.
#$%@ing amazing! Gosh I heart you. Even though you're a not human.
You are my hero! You definitely are my inspiration while I'm training. Way to go!!!
Gosh thanx everyone! and Em, I don't think I'd say it is my first of many but I would for sure do it again. I'm probably doing the Riverwoods half marathon in Provo in August. I invite anyone who wants to join me

and I'm so with you on the dieting. I have got to stop. I always get insanley deprived and then go nuts the SECOND I stop the diet. It's a stupid, vicious cycle, and I'm officially getting off the boat! (or train, or bike, or whatever cycle-y thing I happen to be on) ha ha! We need to work out, take our dogs for runs, and be healthy, and eat all the yummy stuff we want!
