First, your nuts. 
I've had my eye on the Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas Half Marathon. I think it would be fun to run down the strip at night.

Ha! Thanks, hopefully I am nuts in a good way!First, your nuts.

I did the Phoenix rock and roll full and it was super fun...I like the idea of Vegas and it's an easy trip from here!
Nashville might be too far but I sure do love that city!

Neat idea! I will be living vicariously through you on this so here are some left coast races I would love to do.
February - Surf City Half or Palm Spring Half
May - Totem to Totem Half - Ketchikan, Alaska
July - Napa to Sonoma Wine Country Half or Eugene Marathon weekend
October - Nike Women's Half Marathon San Francisco
November - Rock n Roll Las Vegas (totally agree with @Mad Stitch on that one)

I'd be game. Not sure if I find local races during the winter without mucho traveling though.
Nike women's half is going on the list and Las Vegas rock n roll.
I can't afford to travel too far for most of them. I have the SnowJoke half about an hour away in February so I am doing that with my dog Otis! That's a really fun local race. I am going to do some more research today...
Thanks for the help!

Yeah that's pretty much my "wish list" of races, money or time were not put into consideration at all when crafting it.
Just a heads up that if you want to do the Nike SF race sign up for their emails/follow them on Facebook because that race is becoming tougher and tougher to get into each year, it might even be a lottery at this point.
I know! I am originally from NH, there are tons of races.
I think I ruled that one out because it's too expensive but some day, I hope to do it! I really like your list.
I found some good ones nearby here that I can do...But I did out the math and I am not sure I can afford it, because near is a relative term out here and most races are 200-400 miles away.
Okay here is the list I made this afternoon...Most of these are 200-400 miles from my home, so I would be spending at least 100$ on gas and would need to stay in a hotel the night before the race at least...I haven't mentioned this line of thinking to my husband yet, I am afraid he will want to have my committed to a psych unit...
I might just do all the races within 400 miles and Disneyland that would still give me 10...All of them except the Vegas Rock n Roll which sounds really fun and the Holiday half
Either way it was kind of fun to plan out and now I have a list!

You are crazy! I would love this challenge too but yikes! I don't know if I could do it. Not sure if this is too far for you, but I have always wanted to try this one in WY.
