  • 5.25 miles, 5th south loop

Tried out my Hattori's again, I love those things!  My running mechanics are so much better in them.  Felt like I was gliding...which is saying a lot right now for my ~160 pound self! ;)

  • 5 miles on the treadmill at our hotel while James was sleeping :)  (he has the uncanny ability to sleep 2-3 hours longer than me)
  • 3.5 miles of walking!!

We went on a vacation...it was so fun!  It was James' birthday on Sunday.  I picked him up from work on Thursday with the car all packed and just started driving south, he had no idea. :)  He figured it out pretty fast.  We got into Las Vegas at about midnight on Thursday night.

Today we had a yummy salmon dinner on the patio at a nice restaurant and went to the Blue Man group (and walked around A LOT).  What a great show! So entertaining!

  • 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. :)
