Running 13 times per week is more productive than running just 3-4 times per week. If I were an ultra guy then maybe that schedule would be good. But the loss of quality from running 30-40 miles at a time would eventually hurt my chances to run fast. <BR/> Beth- I'm usually up by 4:30-4:50 to get work done and run before my wife goes to work.<BR/> I chose Vegas because we can drive to it easily. Simple as that. Flying is harder than driving- especially with a 19 month old! The drive from Boulder to Vegas is also gorgeous and we'll be able to camp in Moab and stop at the Grand Canyon. <BR/> The Vegas course is pretty much a pancake- not a net elevation drop like Cal, but it's fast. And as far as a fun race to do.. the first 5 miles are on the strip- how do you beat that! <BR/>TLuchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992289866901355978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-91641514310322689132008-08-06T08:22:00.000-06:002008-08-06T08:22:00.000-06:00yep. waking up at 6am...you lazy man! i slept unti...yep. waking up at 6am...you lazy man! i slept until 6:15 today. so there! (and james got up and out the door by 5:15 which made me feel even lazier for my non-laziness)<BR/><BR/>question- is there a reason you decided to do las vegas instead of cal international? not so much interested in you ( :) ), but i'm still deciding on a decemeber marathon and wanted to know how you weighed it. vegas is closer for us...<BR/>if beyond the scope of replying here, my email is bethgerdes1@gmail.com if you have a second<BR/><BR/>thanks, lucho!bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09310216701736465080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-91599141930438762782008-08-05T22:13:00.000-06:002008-08-05T22:13:00.000-06:00Nice.
