INXS

Took a quick trip to Las Vegas Monday and Tuesday for work. It was the West Coast launch for the new Tundra. If you've read my previous posts, you'll know I'm not big on Vegas, but it was only overnight and we stayed at the The Four Seasons, so that was some compensation. The 4th picture is exactly the same as my room, with the same view of the strip. The meeting was over and I high tailed it to my room, took a long bath and got into bed with a book. Ahhhhhh.....heaven.

The next day we went the Las Vegas Speedway and test drove the truck. It is huge. The most impressive thing is the towing capacity and braking. Comes in handy when you're struggling to see over the dash. ;)

The hotel had subtle signs everywhere, which read "This town won't provide serenity, come here to find it". It got me thinking about serenity, the amount of excess and how much we live 'INXS'. THAT is the one constant in Vegas....excess. Driving home tonight I pass a large mall by my home...complete with an mini outdoor ice skating rink and rides. For crying out loud...this is a mall!?! We have gone overboard on everything. For so many, to live in excess means to live the good life. I'll take a good book and company of the ones I love, or an opportunity to celebrate my health with a good workout, thank you.


Monday:
Spin: Speed intervals (8 reps hard), total bike time 1:13
Core/Stretching

Tuesday: NA (hotel gym opened at 6am...1st meeting 7:30) decided to skip it.

Wednesday:
Spin 20 min. Just not feeling it so took a break.


I think of the excess in my life often. Yes.... I have much in my life. How much of it is too much? Do I REALLY need everything I have? I long to live simply...that is where I find the most joy!

Live Passionately!
