Airport Taxi

We're in Vegas! I knew it was going to be a little chilly but I was still surprised by the mid-50's weather. I have only been to Vegas in the middle of the scorching summer where the sun is unobstructed and beats down in the desert making it 110 degrees.

Yesterday, Joe and I were up at 5:30 AM and ready to seize the day. Usually we might adjust to the 3 hour time change, but this time the trip is short and it is advantageous to be on an early schedule since the marathon will start at 6:07 AM tomorrow. We met up with Suzi and Jon who had arrived the previous evening and then we started our tour of the course (we want to be mentally prepared). After the 26 mile loop, we picked up our race bags and bib numbers and then enjoyed a Sushi lunch before picking up my Mom at the airport.

After she checked in to her hotel, we toured the strip as we walked from the Monte Carlo to Treasure Island. After dinner, we headed back to the airport to pick up Katie and Joe's parents. With it being 8:30 PM, I was exhausted and was finally happy to get in bed.
