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.
