Las Vegas Baby!

So we’ve just gotten back from Las Vegas. It was an intense trip and we had massive amounts of fun. We left for Las Vegas on friday afternoon and got there in the early evening. It was me, B and her friend Babs and we met up with a guy I knew from back home that was attending a SAP conference. I gotta say that it’s the craziest town I’ve ever been to. Soo amazing and so many ways to rid yourself of any form of valuables. When we got there we met up with Nikolas, Peter and some other danish guys that was there for the conference. We had some drinks at he Venetian which like the rest of the hotels on the strip is unbelievable. Thanks to Babs and her amazing people skills we ended up at the Tangerine without standing in line or paying the cover charge. After they closed Babs went on yet another display of incredible social skills and hooked us up with a club promoter that took us to another club called the Dresden. Of course the promoter had a sneaky plan of getting Babs home with him and therefore wouldn’t let her go even though we said we were tired and wanted to go home. It all got a little scary so at the right moment we ended up running out of the club right past the promoters two bodyguards and into the street were we hailed the first cab we could get a hold of. A crazy night, I’m telling ya.

The next day me and Nikolas cruised the town and took it slow. It was very nice. At night me, B, Babs and Peter went to Light at the Bellagio Hotel where we again didn’t have to pay cover or stand in line. It was a lot of fun and they had an amazing foam/snow weather inside the club and stripper poles for the girls to dance from.

Sunday we just took it easy and went back home to LA. An amazing trip!!!

I fell over this video again after not having seen it for awhile and figured it’s too funny not to share, so have fun.

LA Marathon completed!

I finished Los Angeles Marathon yesterday in the time of 03:48:26. It was definitely not what I had hoped for but alright taking into account I was dehydrated and ran with a slight fever in a pounding 28 degrees (that’s 82 to you Americans) of heat with no hope for clouds or rain. Of course I didn’t bother looking at the weather forecast the night before so the dumba** here didn’t put sunblock on which gave me a mean as hell sunburn. So all in all it was pretty much 4 hours in pure and utter hell. But I completed an made a new PR by around 6 minutes so I guess I shouldn’t be complaining. I finished overall as number 1041 out of a total of 24736.

Now let’s see what I can run next. :0)

Bikram Yoga

So B & I started doing Bikram Yoga a couple of weeks ago at Bikram Yoga OC and even though I was skeptical at first it has really turned me. All in all it’s a special kind of yoga where you do 26 poses and some breathing exercises in a 40-45 degree hot room (that’s about 105 to you Americans) for about 90 minutes.

It gives a tremendous form of well being after class and is helping me be much more flexible in my running.

If there’s a studio near you, you should give it a try.
