This weekend was a really good time. But let's be honest, I'm not going to tell all about it. I mean, it was a bachelor party, you know?
I did, though, complete a run. And that was a ton of fun. Well, maybe not a ton of fun, but a very fulfilling accomplishment! I ran. In 105 degree weather. Whew. I started the run, and there were no sidewalks. No worries, I just ran on the shoulder. Along Las Vegas Boulevard (way south of The Strip), which is a 50 mph zone. But it was fine.
I started my run and thought that the M Resort was maybe a mile and a half or 2 miles away. So if I ran there and back, I was expecting 3-4 miles. And in the heat, I thought that would definitely sap out a lot of my energy. As I was running, I did have my energy sapped out--as expected. What wasn't expected was that each way was over 3 miles! Yikes. I wasn't even 2/3 of the way to my goal and I looked at my mileage: 2miles. Holy Moses, this wasn't going to be a short little jaunt. Ugh. So I got to the M, and turned around. And Ran (and walked) back. I got back and I had gone 6.29 miles in 1:11:14. I ran a 10k in 105 degree heat. Yikes. Whoo hoo!
Here's a picture I took from the M, looking back at the condo we were staying at:

Did the lack of humidity help at all?
I'm proud of you getting a run in!
