Stayed out past midnight last night, so run in the morning. BIG MISTAKE. I ran after my training again (met two marathoners in my training--the LV marathon was on Sunday, that was fun--one is in Boulder). It was dark again. I decided to run on Flamingo between the Strip and Koval, which is about .65, and I ran it 7 times. Two guys hanging out at one spot harassed me two-three times, and it got pretty scary, until I would only pass them when there were other peds, but they disappeared, which was great for that spot, but then I was looking behind every bush for them. I was ready to quit after 1.5 miles and just run on Sunday, but I stuck it out. Did the 5 in 8:08 ave pace. Throat starting to bug me from all the smoke. Pretty much felt like I had been hit by a car on this run and the Thursday run. Aches everywhere, not anything in particular in the abs though. Walked for miles in the pm. Went to, gol can't remember where we ate, must not have been good or bad. We went to a burger joint first but they wouldn't split the check until I said I would leave then, then the server all the sudden would split my check, but then we decided to not stay. I remember now--we went to a cowboyish barbeque type place. It was fun. I got "the flapjack". I had choc chips in it and it had a whiskey syrup sauce that was kind of spicy and weird. We went to a dueling piano place at Paris, then to a bar for dancing in Bally's. There was a band with some pretty fine eye candy in the form of band members. They looked like rockers (one had a Kings of Leon shirt) but when they started playing country and old folks started dancing we hit the road. We wanted to DANCE. So we went to Pure, a swanky club we had no business being in. They just barely let us end, we were on the low end of the dress code. It was so fun, even though we had to fend of guys left and right (despite being old and scrappy looking). I had a guy ask to buy me lunch, two other guys told me we could just have a good time when I told them I was married. Despite it being way crowded, and it being hip hoppish music, we had a blast. We went back to our room by 2:30am. I woke up around 9am next morn.
