Well, I am back from Vegas and I must say thank goodness. Vegas is an alright town to be in, but it really is no fun when you have to work the entire time. From 6 am until about 9pm, I am under the Michelin corporation umbrella and am always busy with them between breakfast, show time, lunch, dinner, meetings and that sort of things. It certainly wears someone out, that’s for sure. I did manage to keep up with my running schedule, except for the last 2 days as 1) of them I was just too tired and couldn’t wake up at 430 am to head out and run and 2)I was back on the east coast in Boston helping someone move. I do feel alright about all my efforts made. I did after all, wake up at 5 most mornings and go for a jog on the Vegas strip. There is something strange about that. Although it is a good guessing game to see who is just ending their night and who is just beginning their day.
As far as the run today, since I missed the long run of the week, I have decided to do that this evening. This morning looked like it was going to rain, but it seems to have cleared up a bit. That puts a small smile on my face. The distance however, is 5 miles, the longest I have every tried to run at one stretch without stopping. That takes the smile right off my face. I am also switching to some trail running as my knees are killing me. That will most likely change my times up, but I am alright with that as I won’t have to ice everything down later tonight.
