It is official: We are registered in the Las Vegas Rock and Roll Full Marathon! At least we know we can put our training to good use - well the training Kelsey and I have done.. who knows what Mike has been doing for training :) We have less than 3 weeks to go now, and I have realized the tolls marathon training can take on your body! A couple days after my last long run I felt a crack while massaging and next thing I know I have a horrible pain in my chest! After ruling out Mikes unnecessary suggestion that I was having a heart attack we decided that I had sustained some delayed injury to my fourth rib. I had to take a day or two off, and than after comparing doing a run inside compared to outside, I think it was due to doing such a long run when the air was pretty cold. It has gotten better but I can still feel it when I take a deep breath in so I'm thinking about going to see a chiropractor for it. Any suggestions?
Now about vegas.. Vegas is known as the city that never sleeps- and we hope to live up to that profile while we're there, well as much as we can knowing that we have to run a marathon in two days. We get there on the Friday, then run on the Sunday night, so we have to try to be a little conservative. We plan to see a show while we're there, possibly The Blue Man Group, or as Mike requested: Thunder From Down Under (right Mike?). Mike also has a goal to put $1000.00 on Red and hope he wins, so I really hope he wins some race money or theres a good possibility he'll be hitchiking back to Winnipeg...
