It's nice to be back

No running this weekend as I went to Las Vegas with a couple of buddies to the Consumer Electronics Show. Before you draw conclusions (Las Vegas, a couple of guys, no wives), it was a geek gadget show. Sure, we had a few beers but were angels. Except for the running part.

It was about 60 during the day and would have been terrific running but the show was spread over about 10,000 acres and we walked about 200 miles. I justified not running by walking.

Guilt, however, crept back in and I ran today, OUTSIDE, for the first time in almost 2 weeks. Seven miles at 8:27 felt pretty good. It really is amazing just how much the body needs rest, and it seems that the older I get, the more that rest is required.

Tomorrow will be a long day - 14 miles - the most I have run since starting up again. This should be interesting.
