I'm in sunny Wisconsin for the week.  Usually I try to pick warmer places to visit in the wnter.  I try to make my winter business trips an excuse to thaw out from the Vermont ice box.  Oh well, at least it's a week away from the office.  It was 50 degrees today, so I ran outside from the first time since probably September.  I didn't wear a watch or measure it.  I'll call it 30 minutes & 3 miles.

Back in Vermont.  I missed a 20 inch snowstorm while I was away.  We'll probably have snow on the ground until May.  It's nice to be home.  I wasn't able to exercise much and my diet went off the rails.  I'm looking forward to my home made smoothies for breakfast and again!

No exercise today, just a long travel day that started at 3:30 am and culminated with a lost bag and arriving home late in the afternoon.  I feel bloated & sluggish.

Back to the gym.  I stepped on teh scale for giggles.  I weighed 176 this morning.  A full 5 pounds more than last week.  I know it's not a true weight gain per se, but I can feel every extra ounce!

20 minutes on the AMT followed by some stretching and 40 minutes easy running.  5 miles.  No calf pain, but my calves were starting to feel a little weak by the end.
