AM - 4.5 miles outside around the new football stadium and back along the strip.  Shorter distance than I had expected and the first mile and a half were painful and slow until the tendons warmed up in the hamstring and Achilles.

AM - 6 miles heading north on strip from the hotel in Vegas.   Quite windy today - not a very good run - felt "off" most of the way.

AM - 6.5 miles south on the strip in Vegas and then looping back on the other side of the interstate past the new stadium.  Slow start again; did not realize the route is uphill, and was against the wind.  Richie called me after the first mile and we chatted while I ran for another mile or so, until I was going past the airport and could not hear him so well due the noise of the planes.   Second half was in the low to mid 8 min pace per mile.
