Theft

Daily Quote: "And God said. 'Let there be Satan, so people don't blame everything on me. And let there be lawyers, so people don't blame everything on Satan.'" --George Burns

This early morning my wife leaves for work, she returns inside the home and yells, "Bruce, someone broke into the Oldsmobile AGAIN!!" This wakes me immediately. Someone had jimmy the driver's door, probably using a Slim-Jim tool. Went to the car and seen everything in the glove compartment was scattered throughout the car, but nothing was stolen. Luckily, the Oldsmobile only has cassette tapes and nobody wants that outdated technology! This is the second time this year that the Oldsmobile was broken into, the first time they took the cell phone and sunglasses, which I no longer store in the car. Frustrating! Living in Las Vegas is having a growing crime problem with the drugs, gambling and the large influx of unemployed illegal immigrants. Last year our home was broken into, but only a DVD player and some small items that teenagers would find valuable were taken...we believe it's the kids next door, but can't prove it. The theft does make for a downer day, but we're safe and nothing was taken.

Since I was awake anyway, ran my Recovery Run early as the temperature was much cooler and Vegas' forcast for today is a high of 87 degrees:
5 miles. Time, 44 minutes. Pace, 8:48 minute miles. Out and back on Alta Route. Clear, 60 degrees, Wind S @ 9 mph. Average heart rate: 144 bpm (72% of maximum heart rate). Cardiac drift: 152 bpm (77% of maximum heart rate). Ran surprisingly quick, probably due to the anger of car being violated spurred me. Only four more days before "Come Catch a Leprechaun 5k!"
