| AM - 9 good miles with a group of 7 runners plus Finn - a new addition for today was Venu who is a friend of Allan and Ben who we met last week. Very cool to have a group this size and with similar talent and age.

| AM - 5 miles with Dan on the trail - but we left it because it was too muddy and slippery and Rosie ended up not coming with him which is why he wanted to run the trail in the first place.

| AM - 5 miles on the Milton trail with Dan and Finn. Warm enough this morning in the uppper 50's for just shorts and a shirt.

| AM - 5.25 miles with Finn through the neighborhood over to the Groves and back. Quite warm compared to the last few weeks in the low 60's and humid. Rough acclimation with such a rapid change. Dan was heading out early to do a college visit with his son to Tennessee where he was accepted - (though he has acceptances to multiple schools already) but had not visited yet.

| AM - 10.50 miles in total this morning. Did a short run with Finn of a little over a mile or so because I did not think he should run quite as far as I had planned today especially with it being warmer. Met Dan and Ryan at the Summit Elementary school and we ran for probably 5 miles or so and then went back to the school to meet Ben who had just arrived. Greg never showed. Dan headed back home and I ran with Ryan and Ben for another 4 miles or so before heading back home as Tracy had something on the schedule for early today. Ran reasonably well, but not sure if the warmer humid temps the last couple of days, or the indoor rowing I did everyday or the combination of the two (and the slight increase in mileage) had me feeling a little overly fatigued today. Too much perceived effort.

| AM - a little under 4.5 miles with Finn on the Nix road route. Very fatigued and probably in need of a day off - but Finn was very persistently wanting to run - so I kept things very slow and easy at a recovery effort.

| AM - 4 easy trail miles with Dan and the dogs on the MCC trail behind my property. Not too muddy - and the temperature was nearly 20 degrees cooler today. Needed at least another recovery day type effort.

| AM - 5.25 miles from Dan's house today with Finn - on the horsefarm trail roads. Colder and windier today - but a decent run all the same and much more normal pace.

| PM - 5 miles around Stowe Vermont - we arrive late last night and stayed in Burlington for the night at a B&B and had a nice breakfast drove around the town and headed out to Stowe at the Green Mountain Inn where we have stayed 3 out of the last 4 years for Valentine's Day weekend.

| AM - 6.25 miles on the Stowe Recreational Path from the center of town. Got a little lost in the snow as there is a smaller loop called the Quiet Path and it is not well marked. So after hitting a dead end I retraced my way back to get on the trail which was at times very slow going with soft snow in some areas. Quite cold too at 3 degrees but sunny. I needed up losing the path when it came parallel to the road out to the ski resort but decided it was long enough to just turn around and finish up on the roads. Got a good snow beard from the cold 🥶 on my face.

| AM- 4.5 miles in a fairly heavy snow storm this morning before we headed to the airport. Had 10 inches of snow with more coming down. The strap on spikes for my running shoes that I bought last time we were here have been pretty helpful- never slipped even once on the snow and ice.

| No run - super early rescheduled flight due to weather kept me from getting out today.

| AM - 5 miles with Dan and Finn on the Milton Trail - cold here but relatively speaking to the temps in Vermont at 25 degrees this morning - not too bad. Good to get out with Finn and have some conversation with Dan.

| AM - 4 miles with Dan and Finn in the neighborhood very early as I had a meeting in the office. Very cold this morning as well - but not quite as cold as Vermont on the weekend.

| AM - just under 5.25 miles with Dan and Finn from Dan's house. Temps in the mid teens today - but I think the handwarmers were the missing link in my cold weather gear up until a few weeks ago. Now, I really have very little discomfort running in cold weather. Good merino wool gear and tights with a windbreaker if it is breezy - and with the hand warmers I really don't mind it at all. Dan did not initially want to go out today but was glad that he did - though he was not dressed well enough and his hands were freezing :).

| AM - 9.25 miles with the group of 8 minus Dan from Summit Hill Elementary. I started before everyone as I needed to be home earlier than previously expected - so Finn and I did about 3 miles and then ran back to the school to meet everyone else. Cold again in low 20's but not much wind. Finn seemed a little bit "off" today but maintained. Pace was honest at between 8 and 8:30 and coversation was good. I split off on Wood before the bridge and made it home on time. Would have liked another few miles - several ended up with 12+ for the day - with Ben extending his run to 18 in his Boston training.

| AM - 4.75 miles with Dan and Rosie on the trail. Still in the 20's the trail surface was frozen - so the mud was easier to traverse. Gave Finn the day off since he was walking like he had a hind quarter issue following Saturday's longer run.

| AM - 3.6 miles with Dan and Finn on the Milton Trail. Dan is having an issue with the left hamstring now - last year it was the right side and he had PRP which worked very well - so we had to slow down and cut the run short this morning. Finn seemed ok on the run with his hindquarter issues - but then slept all morning afterwards - so he's not quite back to normal. I got on the treadmill when I got back to the house and did a couple more miles at a faster pace.

| AM - a little over 5 miles this morning with Finn through Wood Valley and the North Valley neighborhood. Dan took the day off from running and has an MRI scheduled for today for his left hamstring. Decent run but Finn is still slightly off his norm - stopped to turn around about 20 meters before we would normally do so. Temps improving to the upper 30's this morning - less cold weather gear needed.

| AM - just under 5 miles today. Took things quite slowly and easy mostly on the trail with Finn. Dan's out until further notice and I felt like I have a possible tweak in the left hip - and generally felt a little like I needed either a day-off or just an easy recovery effort day. Seemed to be the right choice to run slow and easy on softer terrain - not quite as cold, and though the trail was not frozen, it was also not muddy (rain is expected tomorrow) and the ground was softer as a result. I did a long loop out of the neighborhood first before entering the trail. It would have been exactly 5 except that a contractor/construction pick-up truck arrived just was we were reaching the Dinsmore gate - and though it was still dark, I had a headlamp on and I thought they may have a problem with me being on the trail during construction - so we turned around quickly to head back to avoid any interaction in case that area is in fact supposed to be off-limits to the public until completed. So we ran a bit faster to stay out ahead of the vehicle which seemed at times was stopping to check on equipment - until we exited the restricted area.

| AM - 5 miles on the Nix road route with Finn - still minus Dan due to his injury. Cooler yet again this morning in the upper 30's.
