Pretty disappointed in this mornings run, plan was to run 12 miles at 6:20 avg pace.  When I got to the strip at 4:30 the street was packed with people, most of them drunk (well probably all).  It was crazy, I had to keep dodging people and running out into the street to get around everyone for the first 1/2 mile (drunk people think it's so funny to try and run with you, what's really funny is how stupid they look trying it),  after I left the strip it got a little easier but it was Hot, Windy, and Humid and I could tell it was going to be a long 12 miles.   First lap went OK, on the second lap the heat started to get to me and I started getting stomach cramps, slowed down a bit but managed to do the first 2 laps in 32 minutes (5 miles at 6:24 avg pace) after the second lap was done I decided to slow it down a bit more and try to cool down, never really could get back into it though,  ran 2 more loops and after finishing my standard 4 I just couldn't get motivated to run another step.  Went to Walgreens for some beverages and now I'm off to work.  Last day of setup today, the conference starts tomorrow.

I found out the Killers are going to be playing at this conference,  I really hope I can go, I like the Killers.

Nice miles. You should've told the drunks it was a race, some may have believed you. I'd love to see it honestly! People watching (when they are drunk) is one of my favorite activities :)
