Chris looking tall and running strong - gotta love it!

Wow! Vegas is quite the place!  It was both our first time to Vegas and I can say, I thought I had heard all about it, but it truly is just beyond ANYTHING I had EVER experienced before!!! With parachuting Elvi (plural for Elvis in case you didn't know - I didn't!!!!) and Fireworks at the start you knew the race would be like no other - and it didn't dissappoint.  Chris had a solid race running 1:43:20 and looked Great doing it.  I would totally suggest this 1/2 marathon for anyone looking at a destination event, and check out a Cirque Du Soliel show - truly magnificant! And even better, not only did Chris raise $7500.00 but as a team of 901 participants strong eam Challange raised over $3.5million for Crohn's and colits - how cool is that!!!!! 

Our next 2 events are planned for summer 2010- both Napa 1/2 and the New Boston 13.1 race are on the schedule so check it out at http://www.ccteamchallenge.org/site6.aspx

And now that brings us to December and the Holidays!  I love the spirit of this time of year - so take a moment and look back on your accomplishments of 2009 and know that 2010 will be awesome -so hold on because it is going to be a GREAT journey!

Cheers, Mel
