Decided to take a day off.  Noticing some soreness in the lower abdominals and in the seat/groin area.   Not painful, but new.  Had to travel to ATL anyway for a new office opening and holiday party, so running was going to be a challenge anyway.

AM - 7 miles easy on a treadmill at a club next to the hotel I am staying in, next to our new offices.  Not a very good start as I had problems finding a workable TM and was a little out of sorts in a different environment - would have preferred an outside run - but new to this part of town, and did not want to venture out in the dark without getting a lay of the land first.   Will do some recon later today for a better effort if time this evening.

PM - about 6.5 altitude challenged, snow and cold challenged miles in Park City.  Actually enjoyed the run quite a bit however slow it was.
