6 loops around the Golf Course. Last day, so glad to leave Vegas today.

15 miles in 1:52:15 7:29 avg pace. Legs felt good but I was kind of lacking energy today.

So, funny story. The President of my company called and told me I need to fly to New York for a meeting with him and a bunch of big wigs from Marriott hotels at the New York Marquis. I told him I didn't pack any dress clothes so he told me to just go buy some and expense them. I seriously don't buy dress clothes, I hate shopping, my entire wardrobe is marathon T-'s and nerdy tech t-shirts from conferences. Oh, and polos that have my company logo on them. I am in the most expensive place to buy clothes anywhere probably, so I went out shopping last night and spent over $400 on a shirt pants and belt. I still don't have shoes. I'm totally sick to my stomach about the whole thing. If I wanted to spend that much money it definitely wouldn't be on clothes.

I went and bought these sweet shoes with the Nike Lunarglide souls. That's the only thing I was excited about.

keep the receipts and take the clothes back after you wear them once :-)

I like those shoes!

Those are awesome shoes Rob! Isn't there an old Friends or Seinfeld episode were one of the people bought clothes on their way to a meeting or interview?

From Rob on Tue, Feb 05, 2013 at 17:29:39 from 198.228.200.45

I'm keeping the shoes, pants are going back.

I talked with Ryan J. at the Legacy Center last Saturday. We agreed that if/when you get back in town we will have to start getting in some long runs on Saturday mornings.

From Rob on Wed, Feb 06, 2013 at 09:33:55 from 198.228.200.32

Ryan still works out? That's good to hear.. What are you doing Saturday morning?

Quick update. I nailed my presentation, saved the company's biggest contract, and they loved my shoes.
