AM - workout 15 minute warmup then 20 minutes at half marathon pace ~7:30 pace.   Hilly route so sometimes very much ahead of pace and others times not.   But overall this was a solid effort.   Legs are noticeably fatigued post run.

AM - 4.5 miles easy in Las Vegas for a conference.   The effort was harder than I expected - I always have a tough run the first day here.

AM - 3.5 miles on the Vegas Strip - did a workout of 10 mins warm up 10 x 20 sec striders with a 45 sec rest, and the 10 mins cool down.   Felt a little weak/fatigued starting off, but the striders felt ok.

AM - 5.5 miles heading North on the Strip in Vegas - which has three stairway bridges to cross intersections from my hotel, versus South on the Strip which has only one.   Heading home tomorrow very early - may only go out for a provisional mile to cover my streak and then some miles at home.

AM - 1 mile on the Vegas strip very early before a 5;30 am pick up for the airport- just in case I did not get a run in later.
