Leaving Las Vegas....not a moment to soon!
I did most of the things you do when you go to Vegas...drank a little (very little really), stayed up late, gambled a little ($20 ha!)and came home. It is not my favorite place. Too much of everything. Smoke, gambling, food, drink. It's obviously paradise to many folks and I'm happy to let them keep it. I tried to convince myself it would be fun since it was 'the girls', but I'm just going to give in and say I'm not crazy about the place...
Got to spin this morning and had a great workout. I'd forgotten what it was like to have a really good instructor.

After work I met Judy for our Monday night club run.

It's getting dark earlier now so I'm especially glad to have Judy running with me. We've had a rash of So Ca runners/cyclists hit over the summer so that's always a concern. PLEASE train safely as these shorter Fall & Winter days approach us! Make sure YOU ARE VISIBLE to everyone around you. Know your surroundings and train with a partner (especially the ladies) whenever possible. Your safety and health are not worth risking. Have a great week!

I know what you mean about Vegas. I'd rather be out in those near mountains running, hiking, walking, or biking. Otherwise, I'd be bored in the city for the most part.
welcome home deb! :o)
glad you are back in the "saddle" with spinning and running. glad you and judy both have someone to run with!
Not too long ago I was out for 5:30am runs on beautiful, sun coming up mornings. Now I'm out there in the dark...again. Kinda sucks.
But, you do what you gotta do, right? Running in the dark beats not running at all in my book!
Glad you had fun in Vegas...$20 worth anyway! ;)
Great advice about the increasing darkness.
btw- If your man is running Nike 2 times a week- he's from here? If so, next time you come to see him bring your running and hiking shoes and let me know!
Deb, bummer about the shorter days....we're just coming out of the long, cold winter, and now when I head out at 5:00am there's a glimmer of light in the east. Yay! :-)
I love training in summer - in winter it seems such a chore.
Train with the ladies when ever possible.. Good advice!
cheers.

great to see that you're enjoying the spin classes. Spin any morning you want, how cool is that, I'm so jealous.
The last time I went to a casino was with my sister. We spent the entire night dancing, didn't gamble once, decided the drinks cost too much so after the first one we switched to the free water. Not quite the clientelle the casino is after I'm sure but I reckon we had the most fun. Plus we have strict no-smoking rules here so no problem with the smoke. I'm surprised you don't have the same laws in America.
What a great reminder about safety. Austin has also had a bad summer of cycling deaths. I actually just bought a front and rear light earlier this week and I'm still nervous...it's definitely up to us to be OVER-cautious.
