It was another late night, our last. Alice and I went to the Chris Angel show, it was terrible. It was like a high school play, very theatrical, nothing like his street magic. We ended up leaving after about 20 minutes. We were talking to one of the bartenders and he suggested we go to get our money back. Others have for the same reason. The most amazing thing that Chris Angel did was sign a 10 year contract to put on a super crappy show. You couldn't pay me enough to go back to see him.
Surprisingly I woke up naturally at 7 am, which gave me enough time to go for my long run and still have time to get to the Airport for our noon flight back home. The run was different than most. My legs felt so strong that it didn't even seem like I was running. It felt like I was coasting on a bike. It was a little cool and very windy out and I don't think I did much sweating at all. It was one of those most perfect temperatures to run in and not sweat. I didn't even have anything to drink for the entire run.
When I go to a City I try not to run the same route. I like to change routes and see different parts of the City. I find that running through a City is a great way to see it. The route I took today was through the Asian part of Las Vegas. I went up Spring Mountain Road and I didn't realize it at the time but the entire first half of the run was up hill. My average pace at the turnaround was 8:33 per mile and I just figured it wasn't my day, that all the partying and late nights was catching up to me. When I turned around the pace sped up and I ended up finishing at an 8:20 pace. It was one of the most enjoyable runs I've done in a long time. I just felt so strong and was in a Zen state the entire time.
Long Run - 1:55:12 / 13.82 miles / 8:20 pace / HR 126 - 140
