Las Vegas Rock N Roll Half Marathon


So, I have never been a runner. (I am no Meikle-the Tibbitts cousins will understand.) Since Chett was born I have been running a couple miles a couple days a week with some good neighborhood friends. We decided that maybe we could train for a half-marathon, so we started training this summer and worked up to running 11 miles on Thanksgiving morning. We probably do a lot more talking than running but we have a good time and solve all the world's problems while we run.
We went to Vegas the first weekend of December (also the first weekend of the National Finals Rodeo-Bonus). We shopped and ate, and shopped and ate, and then ran and ate some more. There were 27,000 runners. I kept saying that I could not belive the starting line and all the runners. We started at the Mandalay Bay and ran up the strip and back down. It was so hard and so fun at the same time. We finished the 13.1 miles in 2 hours and 19 minutes which we were proud of for our first time.

Halloween



We went to the Pumpkin walk in Shelley and trick or treated first, Chett was asleep in the car with Grandma, so that is why there is a seperate picture of him.
