AM - 10.25 miles in Las Vegas.  Here for a work conference.  Got out early before 5:30 am when it was already 93 degrees (better than the 114 when I got here yesterday afternoon).

AM - 10 aerobic miles heading the other direction (south) on the strip in Las Vegas today.  Actually had a few sprinkles.  Humidity was up (23%) from single digits yesterday.

AM - 10.25 miles this morning.  Ran around a different part of the city - including the perimeter of UNLV.  Warmer (95 at 5:30 am) and less comfortable.

Got home late from Vegas last night - and a long drive today to North Bend State Park in West Virginia - kept me from any running miles today.

AM - 10 miles this morning on a trail - North Bend Rail Trail - to be precise.  Cooler temps albeit a bit humid - made for a pleasant run.  A little sketchy running through 3 unlit former train tunnels in the woods.  Could not see the other end of the tunnels when I entered.  They were about 150 to 200 yards long and were not straight.   The last one was more like a cave of hewn rock instead of finished brick or mortal on the walls or ceiling.   My phone had just enough light to allow me to avoid any hazards on the ground.  Fairly remote - I only saw one cyclist and no other runners or hikers.

AM - around 14 miles on the NB trail - I went the opposite direction this morning - which took me through the little town of Cairo WV.  Trail was a bit on the sketchy side past the town.  Heavy tree canopy at times so the GPS was spotty.  Mileage is based more on time out.
