As most of you know, two weeks ago I ran my second marathon in Victoria, Canada. I was planning on running my third marathon during the month of May in Vancouver, Canada. My recovery has been 200% better then when I ran my first marathon in 2002.
Long story short, a couple of days ago I started 'buttering' up my wife, and at just the right time I sprung it on her that I would like to run the marathon in Las Vegas, in January. Reluctantly she has agreed, and starting this morning I will start training for number 3!
Here is the kicker... they bus you 25 miles out of the city to Jean Nevada, and you run back! From what I have read and heard, mentally it is grueling, because spectators are rare, lots of sage brush, and the whole time your looking at the city ... and it dosen't seem to be getting any closer! I'm pumped!
This one I will run in memory of a child hood friend whom died this past year of a heart attack. I may set up a web page, where people may send in a donations to the 'American Heart Association' and then send me a name of whom they would like to memorialize, and then I could add names to the web page. I'll have to get right on it, for I only have 14 weeks till the marathon.
