Races

I've been looking online for races that I could do for fun with friends and I've found a couple. The Rock n' Roll Marathon series is pretty cool and is fun to run. They have it in 20 different places and offers the half or full. I ran the Las Vegas full in '09 I think. Everyone gets really into the theme and dress up. I've never seen so many people dressed up in Elvis costumes in my life:P I also remember them lighting up so many fireworks minutes before the race started, it was very beautiful. This year there changing it to take place at night instead of in the morning like all marathons are. It's going to be the "Worlds Largest Nighttime Running Event!" I told myself I would never do another marathon in Las Vegas in the winter again because it was EXTREMELY cold, but I have never heard of one taking place at night so I figured I kind of have to do it:P This race is in December so it gives me plenty of time to work on my knee for it to heal if not, then I'll probably do the half. Since I have a lot of family that lives in Vegas I never have to worry about a place to stay and worry about food. So far I have 4 friends that are interested in going and trying it. Another cool running event is Columbia Muddy Buddy Ride and Run series. I would love to do this race because you go through a lot of obstacles with a friend and finish together..You climb walls, go through a mud pit, ride a bike, run, etc.. The one in LA is in November so it gives me time to find a friend who will want to do this with me. I found more marathons and triathlons, but these two stood out the most to me.
