[El Gordo]

:RFLMAO:

Great stuff.

Agree about the shower. We are currently in a fantastic hotel suite (for about £60 a night -- Vegas is astonishingly cheap at the moment, with a lot of companies cancelling fully-expensed annual drunken beanos, er sorry, I meant sales conferences and off-site strategy sessions), but a perfect score cannot be awarded because of the limp shower. Contrast with Boston where a sub-standard room was hoisted up the rankings by a superbly manly bathroom torrent. Agree about the dangers and frustrations. I always like to have a handle to grip in case the jet tries to fire me through the lofty window.

But anyway, well done on the gym session. I managed a 30 minute effort today which I'm happy with, as it's the first one since the marathon. A 5 day gap seems quite long enough. Too long away from the routine would be a bad idea, as I have a couple of 10Ks coming up shortly after we return. In tems of calories, I've probably earned no more than half a starter here in the US, but it keeps the spirits up.
