The Las Vegas Rock -n- Roll Marathon 2018 is in the
books. I finished in 4 hours, 44 minutes
and 26 seconds – exactly 23 minutes and 23 seconds faster than last year! I finished with no digestive issues, no leg
cramps, and with energy to spare.
The changes I made from last year to this year definitely
helped. One change I didn’t make: my choice of running buddies. Sue was amazing – as she was last year. She kept me on pace, jogged backwards to stay
with me when I slowed, and cheered me on the whole way. She beat the Boston Qualifier time for her
age group by 10 minutes and took not only her age group but the group ahead of
her. Yeah, she’s that good.
It’ll be a while before I hit my Boston Qualifying
time. I’m counting on my better times to
intersect with an older age group by 2021.
In the meantime, Sue and I are scheming on our next marathon
– 2020. Destination: Hawaii!
