Fly me to the moon...

This was the start of a very bad, very lazy week in Houston.  At least as far as running was concerned.

I got home this morning at about 2 am due to weather troubles at the airports.  I was originally scheduled to fly from Houston to Denver and then to SLC.  Denver was stuck in a blizzard so they switched us to another airline going through Phoenix that got us home at about the same time.  Unfortunately, the nasty thunderstorm in Houston grounded us for 2 hours on the tarmac and resulted in nearly everyone on the plane missing their connecting flights.  They got us on a plane that left about 3 hours later.  We got some lunch/dinner and waited.  Finally, we boarded the plane.  Then the wind decided to pick up to 50 knots, beyond the safety limits for takeoff, and grounded us for another 2 hours on the tarmac.  It was all very tiring and frustrating.  Add to that the fact that I was forced to check my bag because there wasn't enough room on their overbooked plane, and it was a pretty good day.

The conference went well, but I was lazy and didn't get up to run all week long.

Got out in the early afternoon for a run.  It felt good, and it was warm enough for shorts and a tshirt.  I decided to only do an easy 6.  The last time I didn't run for a week I went back to my regular mileage and intensity and ended up injured for 3 months.  I thought it would be wise to go easy today and see how I felt.  The legs felt fine.  I think I'll go back to 8 a day next week.  Total time was 46:02 (7:40/mile).
