Now it's all over except for the running. Today Dad & I made the final preparations for Sunday's Las Vegas Marathon. We began the day by driving the 26.2-mile course. Beginning at Mandalay Bay the route proceeds north down the Famous Las Vegas Strip. When we got to the Riviera we stopped to take a few pictures with the bronze butts of the Crazy Girls. Some nice Brit chaps were passing by and offered to take our picture. We proceeded on and now we both know how damn long 26.2 miles is.
After a home cooked meal of tomato soup and veggie burgers we headed out to Red Rock Canyon. I took part in a little yoga class to loosen up for the run. Dad passed on the yoga and got in a nice hike.
We headed home for another home cooked meal that couldn't be beat. This pre-race carbo feed featured an all-organic fare of salad with avocados, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, garlic cloves and maybe a few other ingredients.
Many well wishers called to offer moral support from Mom, to Micky, to Susan to just about everyone in the yoga class so that's the most I could hope for on the Day Before the Marathon. Except for the chilly temperatures and the brisk wind it looks like everything is falling into place just fine.
