Pre-Christmas Eve run on a treadmill at the YMCA near my parents house in Chicago. Something about the wind chill near zero drove me inside, I'm a weather pansy now. Started slowly but ended up running around 7:30 min. miles. I then ate way, way too much at dinner and gained a few pounds.
Christmas was a beautiful day in the Midwest, sunny, mid-30s, no wind. I didn't have time for a long run since I slept in and people were coming over, so I just ran a bit in the neighborhoods around my folks' house.
11th-Shore Drive loop, felt really sluggish and unfocused. A little light-headed even. Could be sugar and meat withdrawals after leaving my Midwest diet behind.
