6 loops around the Golf Course.  Last day, so glad to leave Vegas today.

15 miles in 1:52:15 7:29 avg pace.  Legs felt good but I was kind of lacking energy today.

So, funny story. The President of my company called and told me I need to fly to New York for a meeting with him and a bunch of big wigs from Marriott hotels at the New York Marquis.  I told him I didn't pack any dress clothes so he told me to just go buy some and expense them.  I seriously don't buy dress clothes,  I hate shopping, my entire wardrobe is marathon T-'s and nerdy tech t-shirts from conferences.  Oh, and polos that have my company logo on them.  I am in the most expensive place to buy clothes anywhere probably, so I went out shopping last night and spent over $400 on a shirt pants and belt.  I still don't have shoes.  I'm totally sick to my stomach about the whole thing.  If I wanted to spend that much money it definitely wouldn't be on clothes.

I went and bought these sweet shoes with the Nike Lunarglide souls. That's the only thing I was excited about.

keep the receipts and take the clothes back after you wear them once :-)

I like those shoes!

Those are awesome shoes Rob! Isn't there an old Friends or Seinfeld episode were one of the people bought clothes on their way to a meeting or interview?

From Rob on Tue, Feb 05, 2013 at 17:29:39 from 198.228.200.45

I'm keeping the shoes, pants are going back.

I talked with Ryan J. at the Legacy Center last Saturday. We agreed that if/when you get back in town we will have to start getting in some long runs on Saturday mornings.

Ryan still works out? That's good to hear.. What are you doing Saturday morning?

Quick update. I nailed my presentation, saved the company's biggest contract, and they loved my shoes.
