| AM - 5k on the treadmill- lots of heavy rain all day. Awoke with some type of stomach bug and was really feeling unwell for much of the day.

| AM - 8.25 miles with Dan and Greg with their dogs. Kept Finn home to give his injury a little more rest. I felt like I would run easy and maybe shorter than what the guys had in mind - but it was a nice day and my body seemed to recover from whatever had me down yesterday. Perhaps it was something that I had eaten that didn't agree with me. Hope that I don't regret it later.

| PM - 6.25 miles on the treadmill in the late afternoon/early evening. Too many house projects and clean up of the holidays to get outside earlier.

| AM - 6.5 miles with Dan and his dog as I kept Finn inside today again. He's having some type of problem physically not during but sometime later after a run where he seems to have an injury such as a strained muscle - last week it seemed to be in his left hind quarter - but this week it appears to be either his ear or perhaps a toothache? He will cry out as if in pain suddenly when he repositions himself on the floor - very abruptly and then is fine. Seems to go away if I give him a few days off of running.
Very shocking and disappointing day we witnessed yesterday in this country. Dan and I certainly had a lot to discuss on our run.

| PM - completely unplanned tempo effort 10 miles with Finn on the Forsyth Greenway trail. Temps in the mid-40's with very little wind; I started off the run not realizing that my pace was already under eight minutes per mile at mile 2 and then was surprised to notice that I was running seven minute pace when I made the turn around. I increased the pace slightly to just around 6:50 per mile and finished the last mile at 6:38 for an avg of 7:05 pace for the full run. This was just one of those days where things just felt very good and I decided to take advantage of it.

| AM - roughly a 10k this morning with Dan; we took the dogs on the former golf course which is still not open to the public and let the run off lead - which they thoroughly enjoyed.

| AM - 6.5 miles with Dan and the dogs on yet another rainy morning - 3 days in a row. Much heavier rainfall at times today - we ran along the cart paths on the golf course because the grass is too saturated and slippery in places - but even the cart paths had some ankle-depth standing water. Slow slog.

| Noon - ran with Finn along the Alpharetta Greenway - started on Windward to explore the latest construction of the trail to ultimately connect it with the Forsyth trail. They still have some work to do - but they were actually doing quite a bit of work even today. Ran very even splits - just about 7:45 pace each mile - the whole way from start to finish - the trail is nearly flat so there were no significant hills to influence the pace except at the end. I should have been pleased with the run, but the weather was overcast and cold and I was not feeling all that great for some reason - so the last few miles were more of a grind than usual.
