To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"It'll be you, your roommate, your friend and a bunch of weirdos."

This was the statement my co-worker Jonathan said to me when he found out I was running the Extraterrestrial Half Marathon, a race that started a 12:30 AM under the full moon about 2 hours outside of Vegas. It was a bit odd in theory. But, it was also WAY fun! I'd do it again in a heart beat! And, of course, since we were in sin city, we made a weekend out of it. Aaron met us there on his way back into town. And, there was a surprise visit from Peter Ord. We had a blast.

If I were to EVER run any type of marathon... I think this would have to be it!!! Out of the heat, but in sin city. Looks like you had a blast... but how did you finish?
