My Dad, mom, sister and myself arrived and made the drive to Red Rock to go over the course.
I was already there, if my knee was going to bother me, I’d just treat the run as a hike the location in Red Rock Canyon is stunning! However, when I got there, I changed that thought. Then after a few runs with some pain, I decided I would still make the trip, but do the half. It was held in March and at first I entered the full marathon. Through the winter of 2008 into 2009 I was able to get out and put some miles in, however my knee wasn’t feeling too great… Iliotibial Band Syndrome – or ITB, I needed to get stronger! Even with the pain, I decided to enter the Red Rock Canyon Marathon in Nevada, just outside of Las Vegas.
