OK Carmen, we're THERE! Count us in.
We can run about 8 miles now in the Colorado mountains, I'm thinking that a halfer in Vegas would be do-able.
Admin, didja hear that?

Carmen, we might have to join you in the halfer... I just convinced Admin (I think) that we can do it.
Huh? What "Halfer"? We better be talking about a cheeseburger here.

Jimmers, I'm with you! We can cheer them on if it doesn't require too much excursion!
That goes for me, too!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
PERFECT!! I am SOOO going to be there. Save the date then: Rock'n Roll Las Vegas DECEMBER 4 2011. Woohoo! We can have our own Tripawd team!

Carmen Said: So, Brett, if I'm planning on running the Vegas half-marathon next December (I'm giving myself LOTS of training time) I should start sprinkling it on my food now??
Yes Carmen, I would suggest a 3/1 Anti Monkeybutt training program beginning now! Increase your intensity during weeks 1,2, and 3 and taper on weeks 4. Increase your intensity during each subsequent month. The week prior to your 1/2 should be a taper week. The day of the race, load up on the Anti Monkeybutt Powder baby and run!!! 
Don't count the Hess' out. We might be there! I will talk with the wife tonight. She's home. I just asked the wife……..she said "YES"!!! Wait, are we invited? Is your husband running with you? Jim, Rene, Ge'Lena……? The Rock 'n' Roll marathons are suppose to be a blast. Kudos to you for wanting to do one. Your going to have a blast.

I don't run fast enough actually to worry about chaffing
I'm going to work on my husband to run it too. If nothing else, he can maybe do the Santa Shuffle on the Saturday before the half (at least it was in 2009 when I was there).
Woohoo.

the monkeydogs only THINK they have invaded the tripawd state
Aw, Maddie, don't cry. Fairbanks is only 1,189 miles further to Las Vegas than Edmonton is. Maybe you could get a good deal on a flight. 
It does suck to live so far away from everybody, I know.
Don't you cry either, Cooper! (where are you again, by the way?)
