A very windy but mild morning in Las Vegas. Business brings me to Sin City, a place I loath. One great thing about Vegas is it's streets are on that Utah-like grid system. So I took off away from the Strip and ran an 8-mile square.
Felt pretty good after a difficult workout yesterday. I'm still bugged about missing the last mile split so badly. I was supposed to do the workout with the two other Trials guys from the area at the UW indoor facility. It would have been nice to see if doing it inside without the wind and doing it with two fast guys would have helped. But I walked away tired and healthy, usually two good things after a workout.
Hit 75 miles for the week which is the highest I've been since before the Trials. Hoping to be in the mid-80s this coming week.
Talked to my coach breifly about 2008 and I think I'm going to run the Eugene Half marathon in early May. It's a fast course, it's my old hometown, and I need to redeem myself after a disappointing finish in the full last April.
I would love to see others from the blog join me for the half or full. Both are pretty quick courses.
Oh...and Paul, the Seahawks are going to walk away from Green Bay with a win on Saturday. Seahawks 20 - Packers 17
