quick update
friday night concert – way cool. someone posted video clips on youtube.com – search for either "RATT Milwaukee" or "Queensryche Milwaukee"
saturday i took the day off. very little sleep. first day in vegas. went to fremont street and had a blast.
sunday morning i ran for an hour on the strip. started at mgm grand and ran north to the stratosphere and back. lots of runners on the strip. trying to run it was more of an urban obstacle course due to uneven surfaces, winding paths, bridges and stairs. temps were in the mid-80’s which felt more comfortable while running in the shade of the casinos. that evening we saw "mystere" at treasure island and had a way-too-expensive dinner at kokomos in the mirage casino. we stayed out way too late and i imbibed a bit too much.
monday i took the day off. see previous paragraph. we saw the new batman movie during the afternoon then hung out on the strip for the evening.
tuesday morning i ran for an hour on the strip, most of which was with a guy from san diego. very hot…very sunny.
today i rolled out of bed and ran 8 miles in 1:06:30. even with the humidity, it was much easier to run than in vegas.
august 1st – – already?
i ran 7 miles this morning. my GPS watch battery won’t take a charge so it’s time for it to be replaced. i still have a timex ironman watch i bought in 1991 that works like a charm. (i’ve got it packed in my luggage for vegas otherwise i would have used it today.) regardless, the effort was relaxed and a bit refreshing not having the task-master that a watch can become.
tonight – – RATT and Queensryche concert
tomorrow – – vegas!!
slow start, strong finish
8 miles (no time/pace – – my GPS watch wasn’t charged)
i started july hobbling around on a strained hamstring and finished running 50 miles weeks. gotta dig it.
MTD – 200 miles
YTD – 1,125 miles
Odometer – 27,463 miles
tropical today
7.5 miles in 1:03:50 (8:31 pace)
high humidity today. came home drenched. need 8 miles on 7/31 to make 200 for the month.
