Wednesday, December 8, 2010 - This was a long day.  Work required me to run errands all day so I wasn't able to run until 8:30pm.  Good thing I only had a six mile run.  It was also a good thing that I have access to a treadmill because it was just blistering cold yesterday in Chicago, sub 10 degrees with wind chill.  So, the goal for the day was to run 6 miles @ 6:30 pace (39:00).  I ended up running 6:27 pace (38.40). 

After Tuesday's workout we didn't get back to Chicago until almost 11:00pm and I didn't fall asleep until 1:00am.  I had to get up early this morning so my lack of sleep contributed to the cold I got back that I thought was all gone.  Get a good night sleep tonight and hopefully I feel better for tomorrow.
