I've been out in SoCal again this week. It was a great opportunity to get some running in - the weather was PERFECT! The mornings were in the low 50s and clear skies...daytime highs were in the 80s. It's going to be tough going back to DC where there's still over two feet of snow on the ground everywhere.
I went out for runs both on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Both times my heart rate was elevated, I felt weak and I just didn't have "it".
I'm not sure if it is still related to the sinus infection or stress at work or lack of sleep or lack of running.
On both runs I did out-and-backs from the hotel of 2.5 miles (1.25 out and then returning). Wednesday morning's run could have gone longer but I needed to get back to the hotel room to quickly shower and participate on an early conference call.
Even though the runs were not perfect, it definitely felt great to be out there running!
I'm taking the red eye home tonight. We'll see how that goes. Hopefully I'll be recovered enough for a Saturday morning run. Maybe I'll be able to go for a longer run (like at least 4 or 5 miles!).

We've had perfect weather for running here in MI, about 35 degrees and sunny. Well, that's what I consider perfect, anyway. But I also feel like I've lost my running mojo. I can do the miles all right, but I just don't have any speed. A slow plod feels better at the moment. Slow plodding is what I'll be doing tomorrow as I get my first 20-miler over with.
