Another wild summer has passed and Fall is upon us. Somehow the month of September still brings about the back to school spirit of putting my head back to the ground and getting into hibernation mode. This first came about when I decided to take a break from “the drink”, but to up the ante this year I’ve also vowed to train for my first half marathon. What other place in the world could you run through a city in the middle of the desert, catch a glimpse of the Eiffel tower, visit New York and party like an animal…Las Vegas of course. To prepare I have quit drinking, bought “Running a Marathon for Dummies, and consulted a trainer…now bring on the running.
