Outside in Vegas

Back in Vegas for work, which can be a challenge for running. There are health clubs, but they're a bit pricey in some of the hotels. There are great places outside of the city, and some beautiful parks and preserves in the mountains, but they require a car. What's left?

Cement.

At the Mandalay, I used to run a large block around to the West, over the highway, back East, and then back. Almost two miles, but pounding on cement, and dodging cars on a few streets.

This time, at the MGM, we had more cement (and less asphalt), but no cars to dodge. Going out of the lobby, a friend an I turned away from the strip each morning at 6:30, and then ran to the block, turning left at each city road, ending up back on the strip. It's all sidewalk cement, but not a bad run, and before 7am, few people are out, so you have the chance to jog without too many distractions of obstacles.

Nice to be outside in the cool air, with a friend, cruising along. I'm hoping to get a few more this weekend when I'm at Copper Mountain back in Colorado.

Icy Hot

The last couple weeks, my calves have been tight. Not pulled, but tight, and as a result, I've been rubbing Icy Hot on them before exercise. It's helped, and while the calves remain tight, they're getting slowly better and I haven't pulled anything more.

Day 1288

Tired, but better. Felt good on the run, even with a tight calf, and got back to a normal speed.

Cooped Up

Lots of snow, cold weather, and muddy roads have had me inside for most of the last month. I could go to town and run, but it's been busy and the treadmill makes life easy.

Today I was going to run before baseball, but got delayed this morning and didn't leave early enough to run. So it was inside again, with really muddy roads around here.

Day 1272

Tired, ankle sore, a long day of baseball and chores and a short run.
