Today my friend Travis and I ran a half marathon in Red Rock Canyon, which is just ten miles north of Las Vegas. It was at times grueling but very much worth it!
Kathy, the first five miles were very hard. All uphill and gaining 1000 feet in altitude over those five miles. I’m not ashamed to say I walked some of that. The remainder was rolling hills with some beautiful downhill grades. Just stunning landscape as well. Totally sunny, gentle winds, with temps around 60 degrees.
It was challenging but very fun. Thinking of running another half-marathon on December 1st in Memphis.
Congratulations!!! You did it. And you look like you feel great. Can’t wait to hear a mile by mile account of the race.
