Cold and very windy in DC today so ran on the treadmill at the hotel.  I had some early meetings so didn't get to run as far as I would have liked.  This has been a rough week of travel and I am looking forward to going home tonight.  I felt ok today.  Still a little tired for some reason.  I hope once I get back home I can get in some better running but looks like it will have to be on the treadmill unless I want to brave sub 0 temps.

Nice run and 6 miles is a good run. Traveling is just hard and it makes you tired because of the environment change and different thoughts and emotions being away from home.

Have a safe trip.

Business travel is a bummer but for now a constant part of my life. It is rough on the family and hopefully one day I can find a job that allows me to stay home more often. Thanks for the kind thoughts!
