5.0 miles easy this AM on a treadmill in LA. Had an unfortunate couple of days. Following my run on Saturday - later in the evening I got sick, possibly food poisoning, which lasted through the evening and most of Sunday. Was too dehydrated and tired on Sunday or Monday to run, but then had to make an unexpected trip to LA for business - which turned into a difficult ordeal because I had to fly from my inlaws location near Pittsburgh, through Philadelphia which was hit by the snow storm Sunday evening which caused delays at the airports. So, instead of arriving in LA around 11 pm Monday night, I arrived at 3:45 am PST Tuesday morning. Took a short nap, went for a run on the treadmill and headed into my meetings. Today's run was not so good - but I expected that. Hopefully, things will improve this week.

Awesome! Food poisoning is a great way to drop a couple pounds.

As long as you don't die.

That's funny Rob - you are actually the second runner who has told me it is a great way to lose a couple of pounds! There are better ways to lose weight I am sure!

Soooo, what you guys are suggesting is that I go scrounge up some tainted peanut butter and/or eggs for lunch to see if I can get back down around 155 lbs - I like it!

Doug - do you have any of those under the radar, unregulated taco vending carts in Talahassee?
