Deserted Desert Highway

Thursday August 11, 2005

If I'm in training for the Dec. 4 Las Vegas Marathon then I better start to get some serious training in. It's less than four months away. So I headed out today to the old LA Highway -- site of my first marathon in 1998. This year's course will be different -- right down the strip. But today's location -- about 22 miles south of Las Vegas offered wide open spaces with plenty of miles to run and no traffic.

I ripped off a 10 miler and it felt pretty good despite the heat. I got a tank-top tan today and stumbled on a new trail for a future adventure. Off course after a run like that the numbers would be excellent. BP 109/73. BS 109.

What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.

It's always the same step, but you have to take it.
