Back from Vegas
I am back!! We got back around 9:00 pm on Sunday night – actually a little earlier than the scheduled arrival, which of course meant there would be a problem, because we’re not that lucky! As it turns out, my checked bag didn’t make the flight. WAAAAAAHHHHH!!! It seems like mine was the only one because there wasn’t anyone else in the baggage office complaining. The surly “customer service representative” <ahem> said “sometimes they don’t load all the bags because of weight issues”. Well, I think they just forgot mine, because we went back to the airport at midnight when the next direct flight from Vegas was due in and my bag arrived with a big “EXPEDITE” tag on it. I was just glad to have my suitcase back – especially since all the summer clothes I currently own were in it!
So, that’s our last longish vacation until we go to San Francisco for the Nike Marathon in Rocktober – only 4 months to go! Now the serious marathon training dedication needs to start. Hopefully the weather around here will cooperate so I can run outside and not pass out from the heat!
On Saturday I have a 7 mile training run with Team in Training, and then next Thursday is the JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge (3.5 miles) that I’m doing through my company. That should be pretty interesting…thousands of runners crushed between the Boston Common and the Public Garden. Good times, good times!
I know that I still need to do my race report from the Newton 10K, and I will try to get it written up soon.
Hope you’re all doing great and I'm going to try and check up on you if work doesn't get into the way!!
It had me thinking of you last night when we were riding the BEAST.
