| PM - 9 miles in the mist/fog/drizzle on a chilly afternoon to start off the new year. Hilly route made for a slow pace but felt good to be out.

| AM - early start 6 miles on the treadmill with some indoor rowing. Busy work schedule for the next few days. My body doesn't really like /enjoy running so early in the morning (even worse with age) - but it may be my only opportunity to run, so...I will grind through it.

| AM - got some snow and freezing rain overnight - ground was really icy. Took Finn out for a run on the golf course. Quite cold but sunny. Lots of kids out on the hills sledding. The crunchy icy snow was tough on Finn's paws - even caused some bleeding. So I brought him inside and cleaned him up. No real harm done. Ran a few more miles on the treadmill and the some indoor rowing.

| PM - 3 miles with Finn and then went back out and did another 10 on my own on a hilly course. Felt reasonably good throughout, but quite tired and sore afterwards.

| PM - total of 9 miles. Went to the Milton trail and did about 4 miles out and back with Riley and Finn. They drive back home and I did another 5 or so. Legs were fatigued from yesterday.

| AM - just 3 miles this morning with Finn and Riley. Legs and body were surprisingly noticeably fatigued yesterday - so instead moving ahead with more miles this morning - I just kept volume low and easy. Travel this afternoon to Philly.

| AM - 6 miles along the Schuylkill River in Philly before sunrise. Legs felt completely fine today. Pleased that I did not succomb to the temptation to run more miles yesterday.

| Had to travel to Denver today. Early start - left the house before 6 am. Expect the client meeting to require me to stay overnight - but we finished in enough time to get the last flight out - which I am not sure was a good thing, since I did not get home until midnight. Long day. Probably not the best thing for this cold that still lingering.

| PM - 4 miles very easy on the treadmill at lunchtime from work. Easing back to normal health again. Should be 100% in the next day or so.

| PM - Tracy alerted me via text that my dog "needed a 10 mile run" after work - so we went out at the end of my day - not quite that far - but decent effort for him to burn off some energy.

| AM - went with Riley and Finn to a Providence Park which recently reopened - couple of nice trails for running - but not very lengthy. Got about 3 miles in with them and then I ran home while Riley drove Finn home.
