Jet lag made it hard to sleep last night, so didn't run this morning.  Woke up with a bad sore throat (guess taking EmergenC every day for a week didn't pay off).  

After work it was pouring out and my throat was bugging me, so changed clothes before I got lazy and hit the treadmills in the fitness center.  Ran 4 miles - pouring sweat because it is a small room.

No pain yesterday, pain less than 1 today.

great imagery - pouring rain, pouring sweat...either way...you'll be wet! ;)

True - but I was warmer inside.

so great to hear about the low pain. I hope things only get better from here, sorry you're home so quickly, but we're all glad to have you back :)

Who is home? I'm still in Michigan until Thursday night. :-) Just picked up some barbecue chicken pizza for dinner.

Nice miles :) I am sorry about the throat :( Darn it. A good sweaty sauna run is probably perfect for a chest cold :) Have fun! Dinner sounds YUMMY!

okay...I guess days are just literally flying by. I thought the 'jet lag' meant you'd come home. Sorry, hope you enjoyed that pizza...mmmm, I LOVE BBQ chicken pizza.

Every single time I have to fly for business, I get strep. It's a flying tube-o-germs. I hope you have better resistance than me! Good job getting to the fitness center, hopefully it's a good hotel with a decent size treadmill. Good luck out there in Detroit--good choice on bbq chicken pizza (one of my favorite flavors).
