Every Mile is a Miracle

That medal is super fun. Totally get signing up for it.

And no, I never did Avenge the Strip! I don't feel like I could do a back to back half in one day. WOOF. Haha.

I was talking with my sister about Avenge the Strip last night and we both agree it's a crazy idea. The thing that would concern me is the travel time sandwiched between the two races. I don't even want to think about how stiff and sore I would be heading into the night race because of the travel time from Anaheim to Las Vegas. In a weird way, that sounds more difficult to me than Dopey.

That is awesome! We were in Vegas a few years ago when the race was going on (and oddly there last year the day before the 1/2...) and it looked super fun!! I'd love to run it someday, I love that it's a night race!
Where will you stay? I remember the road closures being a bit of a nightmare.

(I didn't run last year b/c I had done a half the weekend before... and when I was there multiple years ago, running 13.1 wasn't even on my radar!)

Where will you stay?

My parents live there so we will just stay with them and probably uber to the strip.

Today I am super thankful for this training journal and the way I over share too much about my life because I destroyed my phone this weekend and lost all my pictures. But most of the good ones I have posted here, so yay.
