Today is a great day. Bob and I ran 4 miles outside today. It was his longest run so far...and he was faster than me. He was talking about doing a 10k, then a half marathon. I hatched the idea for us to do a destination race, maybe in Vegas, for our 10-yr anniversary (what?!) and his 40th birthday. So....on Dec. 4, 2011 there is the Rock-N-Roll Marathon, and 1/2 marathon which we will be doing. You run at night down the Vegas strip with live bands. What could be better than that??? What an awesome way for us to stay motivated to run (and together) through these next 6 months, shed some more weight, and have an awesome anniversary trip.

I looked up some hotels, airfare, and car prices - only about $1,200 for 5 nights. That is great. We can start saving now...maybe with my coupon purchases I will put all those dollars aside that I would have normally spent on food and then whatever I "make" at my stores. I am so excited I can hardly wait to talk to Bob tonight about it. It would be so memorable...

Also, I never posted about my Seneca7 race - 10.8 miles, baby!! Which, by the way, totally gives me the confidence to do the 1/2 marathon. My race (on April 30, 2011) was in 3 legs - 4.1, 3.9, and 2.8, but it gave me the confidence that my body can do what I ask it to do.... I am so freakin excited for this trip. I don't think I will take no for an answer :)
