The wallet is closed

Its a bleary morning back in the office after Vegas. I could not get to the pool for a swim since it was under construction and the back up pool had terrible hours. There was no stationary bikes to use for that type of training in the casino gym. So on Saturday I ended up running again with some walking kicked in and finished the day with just about 18 miles of training. My hips are pretty tight today.

The problem was all my pals went to the UFC fight Saturday night and I was solo most of the day. I have a terrible time sleeping in strange places, so while others were gambling or taking naps before their big night I went to the gym again. It is amazing that after so many years of going to Vegas for gambling, now going there to workout and relax is a better plan.

Like I mentioned, I doubled up all my bets and gambling. Like to say I walked out with a big chunk of change but I spent most of it on clothes and gifts and food. If I am a swag whore, then Vegas is one big expo.

Picked up a pair of Kenneth Cole boots, a new watch, some Tommy Bahama clothes (which are so new they are not online yet), a box of Ethel M dark chocolates for Mistress, some shirts and sandals from Hilo Hattie's for Mistress and Mo, plus some odds and ends.

Swimming today, biking tonight.

Glad you came out ahead! (But it looks as you left most of it in Vegas anyway after shopping!)
:-)
Hope you had fun!
