Greetings from the nice side of Las Vegas. I’m in the northeast of the city.. and have to say.. it’s actually pretty nice up here.. I’m about 10 miles form the ‘strip’ which suits me fine !

So.. I’m really liking this book ‘born to run’ that Diane recommended . one of the author’s  ideas is that many of the aches and pains we associate with running are actually a result of wearing shoes. He advocates running eoither barefoot or in very thin shoes.. nothing like the sophisticated creations we currently  wear.. I’ve always loved being barefoot.. so today I went out for a 2.5 mile run barefoot . I was runnign on a trail that skirts around a very beautiful golf course right in front of the hotel.. The3 trail is perfectly smooth asphalt with very fires rocks cracks or trash.. a perfect place to try this out. I have to say I loved it.. it felt so good and light running at a good speed and feeling the path .It was like running naked… but without the risk of getting thrown in jail ! . I’m going to try again tomorrow..

One thing that was cool as I ran just after 7 this morning is that the golf course was covered with rabbits.. these pictures don’t really show the density of bunnys .. there were hundereds of them.. I had to run through small groups of them at several points..

Well, it’s a hare (ugh)  before 11 Time for sleep.. Night everyone

Nite Sam
