As I mentioned in an earlier post I am in Las Vegas, and yesterday I did something I never imagined I would do. No I didn't get married or hit a jackpot but I jogged the entire Vegas strip.

I have been told the strip is 4 miles, so I did 8 miles in about 2 hours. I started at 4:30 am to beat the heat.

This post isn't written to toot my horn, but to stress to everyone when you think something is impossible, anything is possible- even the unimagined. It may take a while but remember YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

While the phone may be smart they user isn't so please excuse any typeos either self induced or from autocorrect

Good Luck on your Journey !!

Why not toot your own horn.  I would if I did that.  That's a lot of work to get to the point where you can run that much. So go ahead and TOOT!!!

 WOO HOO !!!!  Congratulations to you Tom.   I went to Vegas about 2 years ago and trust me....that had to be a challenge.    I walked the strip everyday and in the early evening too.   It is a LONG strip to walk.    Have lots of fun in Vegas.  
 
Hugs and Blessings ~~~ Vivian

That is great Tom! Now that I know how long it is that gives me incentive to walk it. I have noticed I am no longer in pain when I walk long distances, so I am looking forward to See Vegas (again) and this time more comfortably. Luckily we will be with family so I do not have to try to navigate my way through restaurants and buffets. Tom, how did you do it?? Please tell me ..I am nervous , a little...will be there from July 1 to 15.

How cool!

I walk, but I don't run. U may have motivated me to run just a little on the treadmill Tom!
