If I HAD to dress like elvis...I'd...well... I'd just die.
Kilts, yes! Elvis...HELL no!
Yes, it looks like you'll finally make it into the "Fun Hog" hall.
I may still have a T-shirt around to send along. Not too many Fun Hogs around any more so I stopped making them.

Sounds fun Scott!
Having just been in Vegas a couple weeks ago, and heading to Arizona a couple times this month, I doubt Mike and I will make it. However, if you need a break for a couple days after all that running... or if you want to run in some new areas... feel free to visit Mike and me! We are just a few hours drive away ;)

Are you going to join the 'Running Elvi'(plural of Elvis I am told) ?
They also have a Santa Run 5k on Saturday, so you can be a Santa on Saturday and an Elvis on Sunday!!

Now I just have to decide if I am going to be "Jail House Rock Elvis" or "White Flashy Jumpsuit Elvis"

I am not going to be running as elvis or doing the santa 5k... or getting married at the run through chapel for that matter... but i sure am excited to see all of these things while running a marathon! Blue Man Group played around mile 3 last year and it was awesome! I hope they do that again!!!

I vote for "White Flashy Jumpsuit Elvis."
That which does not kill me makes me faster...

The "White Flashy Jumpsuit Elvis" was a little cheaper so I am going for that option.
Of course I am not doing "Fat Elvis" but I might have to try out ''Jersey Elvis".

Make sure to post pix! I am afraid to ask what Jersey Elvis is. But I live in Jersey...so I can guess. Ugh!

Be different and run it as Sinatra. Dark suit and a glass of whiskey.

Well if I do it like Elvis I might get into the Guiness Book of World records as part of the largest amount of people to run a marathon as Elvis.
If they have a marathon in Hoboken I would dress as Sinatra. ;-)

Oh, I will have pictures. ;-)
I got my Jumpsuit and wig the other day.
The wig needs a little styling before it will be Elvis-like.

I believe they have that as a subdivision of the 'Running Elvii' but they only let the people running as fat bloated Elvis run in a speedo ;-)

neighbor guy is rail thin, fortunately. and since it's 18 degrees out, he's probably hibernating for the next six months.
and fat elvis in a speedo - nice image. where's that picture of matt again?

I will have my camera so if someone shows up as "Fat Bloated Elvis" in a Speedo, I'll be there to immortalize it

It looks like you are having such a good time that you are at a party, not a marathon. Maybe it was kind of both. Congratulations on yet another marathon this year.

I had a blast.
'The Running Elvii' were a fun group. The pre-race beer was good too.
Marathon number 6 this year, maybe next year I'll get serious...... ;-)

December 7th Las Vegas marathon.

You can even run like Elvis, which I am considering. ;-)

There is even a 'Great Las Vegas Santa Run 2008' on Saturday December 6th
2 chances for fun in Vegas,
and 2 chances to make it into the Guiness Book of World Records.
I think I may get into the 'Fun Hog' Hall of fame with this weekend!!
