I hate winter colds! Can't breathe as it is so cardio is out and if I try lifting, the weights feel 10x heavier. I'm gasping for air after one set. The first day back at the gym after being sick is rough too...I can't wait for spring!

A hotel on Michigan Avenue would be the ideal location to stay but since you are staying so long did you consider corporate housing? If you are staying for at least a month you can rent a fully furnished apartment in a good location for around $80/day plus maid service, not a bad deal. Try this: www.oakwood.com I know a few consultants that have used them when traveling to Chicago. There's also smith corporate living but I don't know much about them. Hope that gives you more options!

I've been lurking around this forum for a little while and am impressed by everyone's expertise so I thought I'd ask a question in hopes that someone can help! A couple months ago I started working out again after having stopped for about a year or so. I use free weights along w/ machines and have noticed that my joints tend to ache after a good workout, especially my elbows. I think my form is pretty decent, so what could be causing this? Could this be due to releasing the weights too fast? The joint aches go away after a day or so, I just want to be sure I am not injuring anything. Any thoughts are appreciated!

Try Cartier! It's so light and subtle so you won't make people gag when you walk past them:)
