PM - 8 miles in the afternoon following a late night pick up of my daughter who had her flight diverted and then returned back to Atlanta after stopping in DC and then losing her bag - which resulted in us not getting home until after 2 am.   So unseasonably warm that I was shirtless in December and dealing with mid-70's on my run.  Got it done but it wasn't pretty.

AM - 4.75 miles with Dan in the neighborhood.  Felt slow and crappy but the pace turned out to be not bad.

AM - 5.25 solo miles on Nix with a little jaunt into the new development.  Felt like I was pushing a bit. and the left hip was suddenly sore after the run.  I attribute that to inflammation due to poor eating with the holidays and family in town.
