March 10th – Hello from Detroit

My flight in was interesting.  I ended up flying from Medford to San Francisco to Phoenix to Detroit.  Yes I flew West and then South to get North.  As my plane descended through the clouds I was surprised at the vastness of Detroit and it’s surrounding  suburbs.  The city lights seemed to go on forever and were only broken by snow and small iced over lakes.

My first night in was also interesting.  We went out for a team-building, male bonding, drinking binge.  To say that I don’t drink is an understatement so, for me, it wasn’t much fun.  I did, however, end up drinking enough that I woke up feeling awful this morning.  I spent most of the day tired and recovering from last night.   I made it to the hotel gym after work today and the run was just about as expected.  I started out with a mile at 6mph and then ran two minute intervals for another mile, walked for a bit, and then finished with an 8.5mph sprint to the finish.  It hurt the entire time but that’s what I get for going out drinking on a Tuesday night.
