Still in Vegas.

It was so hard to wake up this a.m. to run.  Went to a place last night and listened to a band called Yellow Brick Road.  It was really good.  The lead singer is friends with some of the people I was with so didn't get out of there till late.

Returned to the hotel at 3:00 a.m.!  Got up at 7:15 a.m. to run.  The wind was crazy-strong.  I thought about going back to bed.  It took forever for my Garmin to find satellites......in the meantime I stood in the bitter wind freezing to death! ;-)

I ran on Boulder to Russell to Broadbent to Kimberly Ave, I think.  As I was about halfway done three police officers drove by really, really fast.  I thought about following them to see what the excitement was about.  Didn't because I was on a schedule and needed to get back.

About 1/2 mile from the end I checked the time.  According to my watch I had 35 minutes to be showered and out the door!  I panicked!!!

Sprinted back to the hotel!!!  As I approached the entrance I realized that my watch doesn't switch time zones!!!  I still had 1 1/2 hours!!!  LOL

My avg pace was 9:11.  I run faster in the dark.  When unknown persons/monsters might be chasing me, I tend to run faster!

One more run in Vegas and then I'll be home!!!  I usually don't run on Sundays but I will view it as a nice Sunday leisurely run.
