Traveled up to DC today and I am not in the travel mode yet.  I got to the hotel around 7:30 and went down to run on the treadmill for 5 miles.  I was pretty wiped out so I cut it shorter than normal.  Hopefully, I will feel better in the morning and be able to get in a few extra miles.  I guess I am just glad that I got a run in because I was close to bagging it.  So glad I got something in.

Yesterday I had meetings all day and couldn't quite get a run in.  I was also still tired from Monday so probably didn't try as hard as I should have to work it in.  I was glad to be able to get out early today and at least get in a decent 7 mile run.  For some reason I have had a hard time getting into the routine.  Maybe it is the first trip of the year and just trying to adjust to the crazy schedule.  Hopefully, I can do better because I will be back on the road again next week.  Just felt flat today I was actually hoping to get a second run in today but just now got back to the room from a dinner meeting and don't want to run too late tonight because I have an early morning tomorrow and want to make sure I get that run in.

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.

Well -10 outside with -25 wind chill this morning so the treadmill was looking real good. Even with the cold temps it is great to be back home. Again today I felt tired when starting out. Not sure what is going on but it has been that way pretty much all week. Because of this decided to just take it easy until I start to feel the legs come back. I did feel better as I went along but still flat through most of the run. I was glad to get 8 in and will try for a longer run tomorrow to see how that goes. Hope everyone is staying warm!

Another very cold and windy day so ran on the treadmill again. I felt better today but still didn't feel back to normal. I decided to just do another normal run instead of running long today to try to get my legs back. This has turned out to be an easy week so thought I might as well keep it that way and then try to get back on schedule next week.
