AM - did a short run to give Finn a little exercise then met Greg at the Greenway and we did about 14.5 miles - and at a fairly fast pace- averaging 7:45.  Temps were cold but not as cold as yesterday.  Good effort today.

AM - a little over 5 miles this morning.  Quite cold again just around freezing with lower "feels-like" temps - but I feel like this may be the last really cold morning now for a while - at least according to my weather app.   Decent effort with just Finn today.

AM - another walk/run with Dan and the dogs helping him recover from his hamstring issue.  We definitely ran much more today - and he seems to be improving.  The slow pace is good for him to gradually strengthen and it is a nice break for me to do these less intense effort - though I feel like I still need to run again later today.

AM - 5 miles easy through East Bluff with Finn on a chilly morning.  Enjoyed the solitude of that neighborhood in the dark.

AM - 3.75 miles on the trail with Dan - doing a run/wak thing for him every other day to recover from his hamstring injury.   Probably will do something later today to get a few more miles in. 

PM - I did a workout on the treadmill - 2 x mile; and 1 x 800 with a full recovery in between with a mile warm up and short cool down.   Felt good to run with some speed - I do not think I have done a workout in ages.   The miles were just sub 7 and the half was at 3:20 pace - but I really enjoyed it.

AM - just under 5 miles this morning on the Nix route with Finn.  Considerably colder today and with winds at 15 mph - the feels like temp was 26.  Saturday I ran shirtless, today I had two shirts and wore tights.  Such is the Spring in Atlanta.

AM - slightly less than 4 miles with Dan and Finn in the neighborhood going with a run/walk approach for Dan's hamstring injury recovery.  It was actually perfect for me after a hard long run with elevation yesterday and 2 days of yard work.  Big storms came through overnight keeping Finn on high alert for a few hours - fortunately we had just rain and wind with some lightning- but nothing more serious and really nothing in the way of damage.
