Run #52 Leaving Las Vegas
Date/Time: April 30th at 6:30am
Place: The noisy, slippery sunny strip, 60 degrees (the weather man was talking about the cold blast coming in...a high of 78.
)
Mileage: 3 the hard way
Time it Took: 37:04 (insert Richard Dawson "survey SAYS???" X
Pace: 12:22 X
Miles this week: 8.23 miles
Miles this month: 75.13 miles X
2008 Goal: 313.69/1000
Thoughts/Comments: I was sooooo tired and I really didn't feel like running, but I went on ahead and did it anyway. As soon as I hit the strip my legs were hurting in places that haven't hurt before. The concrete and marble running is not for me, plus I've been doing lots of walking. Oh, and I bought a new pair of shoes that by the end of the day yesterday, I was like "ouch my heel kinda hurts" and I looked down only to find my heel full of blood with a nice fresh blister. I'll be fine by Sunday for the marathon. In fact, I'm in the airport typing this as we speak. I left about 90 minutes before I needed to, just to get OUT! I will run a very short run on Friday, like 2 miles or so and then THAT'S IT. MARATHON TIME!
But back to today's running adventure, it included dodging water hoses as they were cleaning the sidewalks (3 different places), but only two sets of stairs this time.
I'm happy to be leaving...I am so done with Vegas.
