This is officially my year for travel. My friends, Susan (AKA racer girl), Angela and I are going to Las Vegas in December to run in the Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas Half Marathon. I'll be back from Australia for a month and then I'm off to a warmer climate again. It seems all of my holidays involve a race of some sort.
The race is on December 6 and there will be entertainment along the entire race course and hopefully it will make 13.1 miles of running go by quickly. Hell, maybe it'll make me run faster too. I estimate the race will take me 1:56:30 to complete. After the race that evening Susan and I are rewarding ourselves by going to Cher ... yes, boys and girls ... Cher, from Sonny and Cher. Yeah, I can hear you saying it... Cher? What is she going to perform from a convalescent home? The truth is at 61 she looks far better than plenty of women half her age and the chances are she will outperform plenty of entertainers and I think it will be a fabulous show. Apparently, between her 16 dancers and herself, there are 140 costume changes throughout the 90 minute show at the Colloseum in Caesar's Palace.
Don't get me wrong, we aren't only going to see Cher and race in the half marathon. There will also be lots of money to be spent at various shops throughout the thriving metropolis known as Sin City. This is definately turning out to be the most expensive year of my life. My next step is to find a reasonable priced hotel/flight package. We did things in kind of a backwards order - first we bought Cher tickets, then we registered for the race and now we have to keep our eye out for a package to get us down there.
I won't be back long before I start training for Ironman next summer.
