Las Vegas

Just spent a couple days in Vegas for a family wedding.
Surreal...is the best way to describe the whole experience.
Running Vegas is surreal magnified. Went out from the hotel, Paris, and down the backside of the strip to Paradise Blvd. the first day. By the time I came back on the strip there were a good number of other runners out. It has been a long time since I was in Vegas and to see a goodly number of others out did my heart good.
The second day out and east again but went out to the end of town, past Mandalay Bay and past the Welcome to Las Vegas sign.
Very weird to be behind the scenes as it were and the terrain is really just a fairly uninteresting desert.
Felt good to run regardless.
