On the Move
This post will be a bit scatter-brained - just like I am feeling right now. Training took another back seat last week. I got in a total of, er, 2 hours of workouts last week. Why so little training? Well I wanted to make up some time at work so I could go to the Jake for what was supposed to be a baseball game. I can't believe I was one strike away from seeing a no-hitter (not the nine-inning version, but an official game nonetheless.) I can't believe I sat through three snow delays. Yes snow delays. I guess that's what I get for going to a ball game on Good Friday.
Just an aside, I'm not sure why I like watching baseball at a ballpark. I've never picked up a bat and faced a pitch. So maybe it's the statistics of the game. Or maybe it's just the belief that something special will happen on a warm summer night under the lights. Whatever the reason, I like it.
So I went from the blustery cold snow of C-town to spending a few days in Vegas. Anyone have any suggestions as to where to go and what to see while in sin city?
This evening I drove out to Red Rock Canyon. Beautiful. One parking lot was open till 21:00. So I sat out there tilted my head back and looked overhead at all the stars I haven't seen in a while. Boy was Venus shining bright tonight. I'll try to put some pictures up after I get home.
Unfortunately, there was a little damper on the evening. I tweaked my ankle while jogging along the trail. It feels like I stretched that peroneal tendon again. I got some ice on it tonight and I'm really hoping it will be fine tomorrow. I guess I ought to take it easy nonetheless, but I've got some training this upcoming weekend with my new team. I've also got a little 5k race to run on Sunday. One of these days I'll start on my way to Boston.
Hmm, I'm out of thoughts right now. Thank you. Please come again.

I hope the weather is nicer in Vegas. No good suggestions though - I've only been there once.
Good luck with the ankle. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Have a safe trip home!
There is just something about seeing a game in the stadium - I think part of it is the crowd.
You actually got to enjoy the stars in spite of that awful pyramid light? I guess Red Rock Canyon is far enough outside the strip.
Enjoy your time out there.
I don't watch or play baseball, but do love going to games in stadiums. Maybe it is the excitment, or maybe it is the hot dogs. :-)
Hope the ankle is okay!!
You can always walk the strip. We did an 8 mile walk of the strip when we were there in February. We had a nice time.
You're not going to post pics of that ankle again, are you?? I think I'm still recovering from the last ones. ;)
Seriously, hope you heal up soon, QC!
Hope the ankle is feeling better, and boy could I use some warm weather right now! Hello? Mother Nature? It's the middle of April. You can shut off the snow now.
Slots Of Fun. It's a little casino off the strip, but the tables are nice and cheap.
warm summer night? I haven't had one fo those for a long long time.
Hope your ankle gets better.
