Welcome to the Vegas Half Runners Blog!

This blog is for anyone interested in training for the 2009 Las Vegas Rock N Roll Half Marathon. Together we are going to dedicate 16 weeks to train for this 13.1 mile race. So this blog is here to share the training program, as well as running tips, nutrition advice, recipes, running routes, and personal stories. Basically anything that will keep us motivated and on track! 13.1 miles is a long way, and 16 weeks is a long time to train, so anything to keep it fun and going forward is allowed! No matter if this is your first half, or you've done more than you could count, you will found a plethera of helpful information!

About the race...

The Las Vegas Rock N Roll Half Marathon is Sunday December 6th, 2009. The website is located on the side of this page. If you have any problems with it, the address is http://las-vegas.competitor.com/ . You can also visit them on FaceBook by searching for "Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas Marathon & Half Marathon". The race route is on the Las Vegas Strip and stays pretty flat the entire time. The registration fee is $100 if you register before August 15, and after that it is $115. Your fee includes a ton of stuff like your t-shirt, goodie back, entrance into the Expo, etc.

We are going to start the Vegas Half Runners Training Program on Monday August 17. But make sure you subscribe to the blog, or at least check in regularly, because we will have a lot of information for you before that date so you are prepared to start training.
