Hello! I am back in the ‘real world’ aka out of Las Vegas 
I made record time driving home and got here in under 4 hours! The drive was gorgeous too. 
Buuut, Susan and I decided to go out again last night since it was our last night in Vegas. We started drinking before we even got ready so all I have to remember the evening is this one picture, a scratchy throat and another blister:
I have A LOT to catch up on, so I’m just going to share my pictures and do a full race recap later. Enjoy.
Food!
<insert too much Grey Goose fun here>
This morning.
And now I’m back home! I need to unpack, check the fridge situation and then sit down and get through emails. IOU the Pile on the Miles winners – that is coming tomorrow!
Aaaand, my co-worker just IMed me (I’m not working today but telecommuting means my favorite peeps hit me up whenever). I’ll see you later…
Question: What did I miss? What did you do this weekend??

Love that dress! Who makes it?
WHERE did you get that dress!
You look stunning!
love that dress too!
Dang girl! Your work is paying off in that dress!
Where is the wedding ring??
I don’t wear it for races and didn’t want to leave it in the hotel room, so I left it at home.
Day-um! I like that dress on you. I don’t have that kind of confidence, but then again with a few drinks in me I probably wouldn’t care as much.
Gotta love Vegas!
So glad you made it home and back to reality. It’s so true, when I leave Vegas, I feel like I’m leaving a fantasy world. It seriously baffles me how people live there but my husband’s aunt use to live there her whole life and says it was unreal. I can only imagine!
oh, the google doc is closed, I guess I missed filling in my last week. Not that it really matters.
THAT DRESS! Love!
I *really* want to run the RnR Las Vegas one day. Sounds like a load of fun (before pre, during and post the actual race).
looks like you had some fun! can’t wait to see the race recap
Monica! I just saw this and had to share it with you in case you haven’t seen it already!! Remember when you showed us how you and ben peeled pomegrantes underwater? This takes like one minute and is way easier sans water!!

just skip ahead to when he actually does it.. he talks for awhile :/ bleh
Did you enjoy Vietnamese spring roll and pho? I miss Vietnamese food -can’t seem to find good ones around my area.
Can’t wait to hear your take on the race logistics this year. I love that you keep it real, Vegas trip with drinking…it happens, lol!
Looks like an awesome trip. One day… when my running is better… I’ll do a race in Vegas… one day.
You don’t have to wait – there are people of all abilities there
Where is that dress from!? HOT!
I caught hawks this weekend, no where near as exciting as partying in Vegas.
Looked like a great trip!!!
I forgot to add my POTM on Saturday.
And I totally beat my goal after running 14 miles. Oh well. Next year!
Isn’t drinking before you get ready the way to do it in Vegas?!
Can’t wait for a recap!!
CIM Full Marathon in Sacramento, for me! My first Full and I LOVED it!! I was so afraid my training wasn’t enough although I did what I was supposed to. Looking forward to lots more running in 2013!! Glad you had lots of fun in Vegas!
Congratulations!!!
And I agree… you look super slim in that dress, lady!! Go, you!
Wow, looks like fun! I’m super excited to do the RNR half in New Orleans for February! Did you have any problems with the race being too crowded? It seems like everyone I talk to knows about the RNR series
