Marathon #2

If you would have told me that when I finished the St. George Marathon in October that I would have a desire to run another marathon, I would have told you that you were crazy. So, last month, I signed up for the St. George Marathon yet again, in hopes of getting in, and cutting my time down from last year. Yesterday, I found out. I wasn't accepted in to the lottery. I must say, I was pretty disappointed. I really wanted to run in the St. George Marathon. So, I was torn with what to do. I was wondering is possibly someone somewhere was trying to tell me that I shouldn't run a marathon again. Maybe I am stubborn, maybe I just am a bit bitter right now, but I needed to find another marathon around the same time so that I could run it.

So... Here it is. After a bit of searching, on December 5th, 2010, a few weeks before we leave for a cruise in the Bahamas, I will be running the Rock 'N Roll Las Vegas Marathon. There are a few good things to being able to run this marathon:

1- It's a few months further away than the St. George, which will allow me some more time to train which is always a good thing right?

2-Everyone that signs up gets in. I don't have to worry about the lottery.

3- Once the marathon is over, I don't have to worry about getting into my 'beach body' mode for the cruise as I hope that I will already be there for the marathon.

I say that it is a win win situation. I am really looking forward to it, and to run it in a good time. So, I'll keep you updated on what is going on, and how the training is. Thanks for reading all of this. You're all great.
