  • 1.5 miles on the treadmill
  • more walking!

I was pretty hammered after yesterday!  I have been having what feels like a strained muscle or ligament between my right hip and pelvis.  It was hurting more than normal all day Friday and then during my run Saturday, so I cut my planned 3-5 miles short.

Today we walked around again and went to the Jabbawockeez.  We also had free vouchers for restaurants so we went to a really nice steakhouse.  The waiter was NOT pleased to have us at his table since we didn't drink lots of wine, gamble, eat a lot of food and desserts...etc.  Hahaha, it was funny!  We saw the bus boy more than him.  He was also very offended when I asked "what comes with the steaks?"  Apparently, when you eat at $60+ per plate restaurants, "everything on the menu is ala carte...Ma'am."  (making it $80+ per person) Well excuse me!   

We were beat by the time we got back to our hotel around midnight.  We used the rest of our vouchers for a breakfast buffet at "Le Village Buffet" at the Paris Hotel the next morning before driving home.  It was so yummy!  Made to order crepes and omeletes, food everywhere and the hotel looks like you're walking in a Paris village (with a blue sky, clouds, trees and everything). 

It was a lot of fun, but we both agree...we're Las Vegas'd out for a very long time!  You can only stand so much smoke and junk for so long.  Now we're back to reality and wish we could still be gone somewhere. :)

Man, gotta love people that think we all eat and drink at hundered $/ plate restaurants all the time. Nice. Hopefully, at least the food was good.

Do you have a belly support band? If not, you may want to get one. It will help the ligament pain that you will continue to encounter. It was the only way I could run. Otherwise I felt like my baby was going to fall out :)

sorry about your hip/pelvis. hope it's okay...

regarding the restaurant -- you should have ordered a pb&j (no crust!) just to see his reaction.

Hahahaha Allie, that would be so funny! He probably would have just left us. :)

Rachel, you are right, I really do need to get one! I will look into one right now. :)
