This morning I met some of the Las Vegas Road Runners training for the LV Marathon at Sunset Park at 5:30 am. Talk about a park that doesn't know it is 5:30 am. Walkers and joggers were out there doing their thing already. The bathrooms were even open (but they were the scary prison stalls with the cold metal toilet and no doors!).
It was pleasant enough. The company was great and the pace was easy. This group runs with the 4:30 marathon pace group and was supposed to run a 10:00 min/mile pace and was closer to an 11:15 pace. I wasn't about to be the one responsible for pushing the pace this time since it was their pace. I was just a tagger-onner.
The route consisted mostly of red dirt track and cross-country trails which gave the legs a respite from the pounding pavement and occassional cement (See Fitness Police).
We covered about 4.5 miles in 50 minutes.
I've got a lot of running around from appointment to appointment today. Tonight is body pump if I can make it. (didn't)

sorry I wasn't there...I ran at 4am with Paul b/c it didn't sound like you were going to be able to be there seeing how your care was sick. Hopefully, I'll see you at Body Pump.
FOUR A.M. ???????????
I'm so glad I live in a cold city like SF where I can run at 5:30 and its only 58 degrees (at most).
FOUR A.M. ??????????????
Hey RR,
Sorry about BP class. Ever since my schedule changed so I have an At Work in the afternoon, I am feeling too rushed on Tuesdays to get to Body Pump at 4:00.
Methinks I will be lifting at home for the time being or getting it done in the morning right after running so it is done for the day. Too bad as it was fun. But don't count me out totally.
Re the running... the Hubster told me last night he didn't need a ride this morning and in fact arranged for a ride for the rest of the week.
No word on the sick car yet. It was towed on Fri night and not looked at yet. Wait that is the phone...
