Las Vegas Here We Come! (We hope)

Well Mike and I (Lisa) and our friend Kelsey are headed to Las Vegas to do the full Las Vegas Marathon! Or so we hope... Turns out we are not the best at putting together a trip in which you are also doing a marathon. We have our hotel booked, our flights booked, and we are registered- oh wait we aren't because the Full Marathon is sold out! Since we realized this Mike went right to work using his old race fame to try to get us in! And we might have a chance! Marathon or not we are still training with the hopes we will get to run in the full. All in about 6 more weeks.... This may not be a big feat for Mike, but for Kelsey and I-  we are just trying to not get taken out by the 4:30 time limit. Oh, did I mention that this is our first full marathon? With such a short time line in which to train we are trying to amp up our training a little bit by adding some intense workouts in with our running. This morning Mike and I went to Cross Fit 204 to get a work out in - and thats exactly what we got. Thanks Mike Warkentin! After that we even got a run in to work even harder.
We'll keep you posted on our training and if we even get into the marathon...
-Lisa
