Describe your race day.

The race was amazing!! I had a great time out there on the course. I relaxed and just ran and still managed to get a PR!! I got to meet up with old friends at the start and even met up with Facebook friends I had never met.
Did you PR?

Yes, I did get a PR. It was by a little over 5 minutes.
How would you describe the course?

The course was great!! The scenery was nice.
Tell us about your training.

I don't really "train" for races because my base mileage daily is more than enough to run a half or even a full at any given time.
What advice would you give future runners?

Be aware that the constant downhill pounding can bring pain to the toes, knees or quads.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

We went to the strip and we went out to eat at the Cheesecake Factory.

We drove to Las Vegas from El Paso TX.
