Not good but who can complain?
Checking in...
I did run 4 miles up and down the strip upon arrival..... from the Palazzo all the way down to Xcalibur and back. I was going to take a poll about why it possibly sucked more than any miles I've done lately. Was it the weaving, gawking, staggering tourists who kept getting in my way, the 8 or 9 sets of 30 stairs I nearly died on or perhaps the lack of fueling? On the way here,the flight attendants asked if anyone is allergic to cats. I have no idea what this means, however, when I got here, everywhere on my legs had a rash. I'm guessing it has to do with the new pants and everywhere they touched me??? but who knows. I didn't have any cat in my pants and I don't think that had anything to do with the run, but the rash makes my legs feel like they are on fire.
Turns out, Topher reminded me that running on the street makes quite a difference after several runs and several months on treadmill. Thanks for reminding me, it made it seem slightly less sucky.
I didn't get too upset - all the splits were abysmal, but I did the miles and after all, the scenery was beautiful and the temp swing from this morning in Des Moines was from minus three to 57 -- I'll take it, even if the run is not good.
Super special shout out to my friend LeAnn who is looking for motivation, a working mom like me, and just a doll. She's a runner and I encouraged her to check out my and you guys' blogs. Let's hear about some miles, LeAnn!!
