AM - 5.25 solo miles through WC and into the Grove neighborhood and back.  Hilly route - cold and foggy out.   Decent pace, effort was a little more focused due to the hills.

AM - 4.25 miles from Dan's house with his dog, Rosie.  Quite chilly in the upper 20's.  Slower pace with Rosie who is not really a running dog, but who loves to greet me when she sees me pull up to his house usually goes with us if she's gotten outside to say hello.   I don't mind the slower pace or the frequent stops for her to sniff or go to the bathroom, but Dan gets frustrated with how she lags behind and refuses to run along side us when she's on a leash.   Would have gone a little longer if he was not at his wits-end with her today.  Very sweet dog though.

AM - 4.25 miles with Dan on the Milton Trail this morning - the dirt road was muddy and sloppy with overnight rains, but the temp at 40 degrees was comfortable.  We have been going a bit faster in pace lately and today was no exception.  My health app gave me an alert to a trend of a jump in my VO2 max which of course is just a formula and not an actual reading.  Not sure what's going on but I am not complaining.

AM - 5.25 miles solo early before church.  Very dense fog - did the Freemanville/Redd/Thompson loop for a throwback - have not done it in quite some time.  Usually too much traffic.  Was up late with a neighborhood Christmas party, and then clean up and watching the end of the college games.  Probably a bit slower and creekier than normal today.
