The Las Vegas Rock "n" Roll marathon was supposed to be my last 2010 race but my wife urged me to run this local event for the
free christmas tree, It's been raining since thursday and I didn't decide to run till 6:00 am today (Sunday). I am glad that I ran for it's fun running in the rain. It's wet, cold, windy and some portion of the route was flooded but its fun. I also had the opportunity to meet some of the local elite runners in my age group(65-69). Oh boy ..... these guys got some wheels. I look like a newbie/old man compared to these guys(they are 2 years younger).
The race was held at the big & beautiful regional park in Long Beach located along the San Gabriel River. This is my favorite training venue. The event is called
Winter Solstice Christmas Tree 5 Miles Run.
