What ever it takes!

Nice easy run down to Disneyland, 1 big loop, 1 downtown Disney loop and back.  Kind of chilly this morning but not bad after I got moving. 

Now off to a busy work day, that's the problem with my job, since conferences always start on Monday it means I always have to work on weekends to get ready.

Perfect morning for running, we had an early work start today so I had to run in the dark but I didn't want to wear a headlamp so I just ran lots of various sized and shaped loops around the happiest place on earth.

12 miles in 1:26:23, last mile in 6:32.

Same magical route as yesterday with a slight modification to keep from having to do laps around the hotel parking lot to finish off an even 12.  I was a tad slower today, it took me a little bit longer to get into it.  Plus I seemed to hit more red lights this morning.

12 miles in 1:28:20, last mile in 6:28

Here is my route just in case anyone wants to know how to run 12 miles on well lit streets while visiting Disney.

I'm so happy with my new early morning route I did it one last time,  my legs must have been feeling peppier than normal cause it was my fastest time yet.

12 miles in 1:24:20 last mile in 6:12.

We have another show coming up in Vegas the week after Thanksgiving that needs a bunch of the equipment we have now, so we have decided instead of stressing about it getting to Vegas in time we are going to rent a mini-van, bugger on out of here tonight and drive the equipment to Vegas and then home.  Not sure if I'll get a Vegas run in tomorrow, I guess it depends on how late we get there tonight.

3 loops around the Wynn golf course in Vegas. I got in at midnight, slept for 5 hours got up and ran now we're in the car headed home. I'm tired.

12 progressive miles on the Lifetime treadmill.  Last 3.1 miles in 19 minutes.

Driving home from Anaheim in our rental car the other day I came up with a plan to surprise my wife with a fun date.  We never go on dates, so I arranged a babysitter,  texted my wife and asked her out on a date, Rented a really cool Mustang GT 5.0, and shopped around for a place that could give us both massages at the same time.  Well, the only place I could find on that short of notice was at Cliff Spa at Snowbird, way, way too expensive for a massage but I decided to splurge anyway, and then since we were already going to be at Snowbird I made reservations at the Steak Pit.  Britt informed me that restaurants with the name 'Pit' in them were not good date places.  Anyway, since this story really isn't going anywhere I'll end it.  We drove the cool car up the canyon, had average massages for 3X what they were worth,  had a steak dinner for about 2X what it was really worth, ended up spending over $500 for a date.  A little bit disapointed with the whole thing, I guess next time we'll just stick to Applebee's and a movie.  The car was totally worth it though.

12 progressive miles on the treadmill in 1:24:06. before taking the car back to the airport.

Afterwards I realized that this week was actually my wife and I's 13th anniversary since our very first date.  So that made it more worth it I suppose.
