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.

AM - managed to squeeze in 6 miles on the treadmill at my hotel early this morning.  Heavy rains in LA - (which I guess is not too common) - so I decided not to venture outside to run.  Looking forward to a trip home late this evening.

4.0 easy miles this morning. Had a terrible last 2 weeks of running with possible injuries work commitments and travel. Thursday I had an overnight flight and then Friday awoke with a really bad cold. So today was all about getting out to start the year out with a run. Did not feel well but was happy I did not take a zero.
