Las Vegas Marathon Anyone?
So I last year my big brother ran in the Las Vegas Marathon and we all went to cheer him on, this inspired me to train and run my first half marathon in Las Vegas this December. www.lvmarathon.com
I thought it might be great to train for this with others just for fun and support. I’ll keep my training schedule, and progress posted. I am beginning Monday, August 13th. I thought this would also be a great opportunity for photos on the day of the race… I will post them here on the Bubble as well.
A challenge to anyone else who would like to run in this with me, or just train with me to get in shape. Good luck.

How about walking? I plan to walk home from work two or three nights a week now that daylight is lasting longer.

Walking is great!

UPDATE: Training is going well so far… lost 7 lbs this first week. I was pretty surprised.

Hmm I just read this seeing as I have a new found interest for marathons. I started running yesterday. Not too good, 3 kms took me 40 minutes. Today I did 1km in 4and a half but that was a bit silly. I met a guy on the plane from Melb to Perth who runs 10km a day and does fantastic stuff for charity, runs and cycles that has sort of inspired me. Ill see how I go. How did you end up going?
Karen Wade replied
I didn’t. I can blame it on starting that new job running the studio, but in all reality i just got lazy. I do hope to do it this year though. It s a great excuse to go to Vegas with my hubby and play :0)

Vegas is on the top of my list of places to go, might have to get fit and make it an excuse of mine too
Karen Wade replied
Sounds good. That would be fun to know someone else running it :0) (although I may just run the half. I dont know how ready I will be for the whole 26 miles.)
