After bonking in the marathon yesterday afternoon, I did take a nice long nap, and then felt much better yesterday evening. I felt good enough to go for a long walk up and down the strip. My knee still hurt, but not bad enough to keep me indoors. After getting a hearty breakfast at Denny's (breakfast is my traditional post race meal, no matter what time of day), I continued to walk up the strip, into, through, and out of casinos, and generally, just kept moving. It felt great. By the time I got back to my motel late last night, I had walked well over 5 miles.
Today, I've walked another 5 miles or so, again, walking up and down a part of the strip, and walking through both the Las Vegas and Houston airports. Walking definitely helps the rest of the muscles recover by keeping an ample supply of blood flowing. The knee still hurts today, but it's better than it was yesterday.
On a positive note, I did win $390 playing the Wheel of Fortune slot machines this morning before leaving Vegas. Woohoo, that nearly paid for my entire trip.
