10 miles and now I'm off to Minnesota. Not looking like I'll have much of a chance to run this week.

10 miles in Minneapolis.  Note to self: next time when traveling to the upper midwest in November, pack warmer clothes.  I planned to run inside on the treadmill but there were none available so I hit the streets.  It was 36 degrees with a stiff wind.  You could say I was under-dressed in a t-shirt, shorts and socks for gloves.  Pretty funny looks from the locals as I ran along the streets while they were dressed in warm coats, beanies, ear muffs, gloves, scarfs, etc.

I ran towards St. Paul and turned around after 4 miles when I couldn't feel my fingers anymore.  When I got back to the city I ran past Target Field (Twins) and Target Center (Timberwolves).  VERY cool city.  Who would have thought??!

10 miles in the same attire as yesterday.  Thankfully with was 2 degrees warmer (38) when I ran after work so that was nice.  I ran the opposite direction from yesterday and ran past the Metrodome and then crossed the river and ran through the University of Minnesota campus.  Their brand new football stadium was open and I was able to go down the the field.  Awesome stadium.  I'd love to go there on gameday.

Continued on by running past the basketball gym (U of M was playing some ACC team tonight), hockey arena (sadly, no game tonight or else I would have gone for sure) and other spots around campus.  Made it back to the hotel and took a hot shower to warm up.

Major issues flying home today.  Multiple re-routes and eventual flight canceled.  But I made it as far as Denver for the night.  Hopefully tomorrow goes smoother.  I don't have my luggage so no running for me today.  Blah.  I lifted weights in the hotel to get some sort of exercise though.

Long day of travel, but thankfully not bumped from any flights and none were canceled due to weather.  Better than yesterday!

10 miles around GP.  It's good to be home and have proper gear for the cold weather.  Bummed I wasn't able to run yesterday...
