Kinda worried about the RI one though weatherwise. It's starts early, so I'm hoping there's no humidity. Vegas looks like so much fun, that one's on my list. I would do it this year, but the Honolulu Marathon is the week after, on my b-day. I talked to my parents and for b-day/x-mas they're helping out so I'm going to do that one.
Heard that this yera's RnR Las Vegas will be awesome since you will get to run the Strip at NIGHT! Very cool - wish I could be there, but budget won't stretch for it.

I'm actually doing the full. Or trying to, I had hamstring problems Dec/Jan and it went away for a little bit, but it's starting to creep up again. But if I can't get the training in, definitely the 1/2. I did it last year and had a blast. I used to live down there, so I'm just a little biased!
Wow, you're going to run in Hawaii! That's going to be awesome!!!I'm also doing the SD Half.
I want to do this one too!
Another one for SD 1/2!!! I am very excited about running the strip at night. I agree, I think it will be very cool. Running the strip during the day would be cool as well! Either way, I'm just excited!
Since signing up for the SD 1/2, I've read a lot of negative things about the finish area. Not really looking forward to that mess. But..I'm still excited to run. I did the RnR Phoenix 1/2 this past January, that was fun. Regarding RI, I agree, in August you do run the risk of warm weather and humidity. But here's hoping you get some Pixie Dust and a nice cool breeze!
I think I might be addicted to races. I'm not very good at them but I sure do enjoy it!
Oh well as long as it's under the time limit and I get my medal I'm happy. 
Yeah, last year was a complete disaster. They changed the finish line location from the Marine Recruiting Depot to a parking lot next to Sea World. The parking lot also changed from the airport to Qualcom. When I finished, I had to wait in line for more than an hour to get on the shuttle to take you to the trolley(that was taking you to Qualcom). Luckily the hotel was next to the shuttle and I didn't need to get back there, b/c that line was even more crazy!! Plus, there was no June Gloom~ the sun was out around 8:00. I flew home that night and you could pick out the runners, b/c they were all sunburnt. The parking lot was completely exposed so that wasn't good. We can park back at the airport this year, I'm just hoping that eases the problems with the shuttle and we have June Gloom way longer than 8am!!
Anyways, on a happier note, I went to the GET Travel website this afternoon to check out what their prices were for Tinkerbell in Jan. They had a logo up for the race link. So I'm thinking that's gotta be either the shirt logo or what the medal is going to look like. Here it is:
I can't wait to see the 5K one either!! I'm picturing the giant skull head that was in the water in the movie or something like that.
I can't believe we're 3.5 weeks until San Diego. I really am not ready. 
I do like the Tinker Bell logo. I'm really hoping that's the medal, as well.
For the SD 1/2, my hotel is right off the trolley stop so it seems I can just take the trolley from the finish to my hotel. But good to know I'll have to anticipate crowds and lines...but then again, by the time I finish, maybe the majority of people will already be gone!
Still on the fence b/w the full and the 1/2. My hamstring has started acting up again w/ the hill training that I've been doing for Bay to Breakers this weekend. I'll know for sure on Monday which one I'm going to do. 
I was thinking it would take awhile in hopes that we would get more DCA and they were waiting to see how construction goes, but oh well! It'll still be a great weekend/run and we've got Tinkerbell in January!!!
