Ran 10 miles on the treadmill at the fitness center we are staying at in Vegas. Very nice fitness center. The treadmills were real smooth and had their own TV which was nice so I didnt have to crank my neck. They kept it very cool in there so I didnt get overheated like in some hotel gyms. I was the only one in there for a long time (I guess people in vegas on vacation dont get up early:). Ran first mile at 8 min mile and then bumped it to a 7:30, then took a potty break at 3 miles and then finished the run up at 7:30 pace, did some weights and then hopped on the elipitical for 25 min. I had to pay 10 bucks to use the fitness center so I figured I might as well get my moneys worth. While running could feel my quads were pretty tired and a little stiffness in my left IT band and then my right hamstring got a little tight towards the end of my run. Stretched really good. April worked on my on saturday after the race and worked some knots out. I crashed saturday and sunday night, I slept like a rock and feel asleep so early both nights. We walked a ton yesterday and will be walking around a lot today (SHOPPING and eating:)!!

You've earned your eating with a workout like that! I feel like I have to workout quite a bit when I pay a daily fee for the gym too.

Glad you are having a nice time in Vegas. You both deserve the vacation. Eat lots of yummy food for me!
