| AM - 6 miles in the rain with Finn before work. This marks exactly 1 year - 365 days of running without a day off. I have run at least 3 miles per day since March 1 of last year. Pleased that I have been blessed with the good health and time, to be able to do this everyday. Certainly one benefit of the pandemic is the elimination of international travel from my schedule and not having to otherwise commute to an office.
PM - 3 miles with Dan and the dogs after work and then 2000 meters on the indoor rowing machine.

| AM - 6 miles with Dan and the dogs - good bit colder and wet. Watched the NCAA Cross Country Championships on YouTube from yesterday - the coverage was great - and Conner Mantz was very impressive with the win - just throwing down in the last kilometer. Nicely done.

| AM - 6 miles with Dan and the dogs - slightly different route - same weather, cool damp/wet. Dan and his wife were vaccinated yesterday - they went to a Kroger to get placed on a waiting list, and happened to be there when there was a no-show for 2 appointments and instead of putting them at the bottom of a lengthy list, they just administered the vaccines for them on the spot. Timing is everything sometimes. My wife and I are traveling to Toccoa tomorrow for our first doses.

| AM - 9 miles with the guys and the dogs on the Forsyth trail - with crisp temps in the upper 30's. Was suprised to learn that a friend of mine participated in the Barkley Marathon this week - evidently when you are selected to do the race, it is an unwritten rule not to make it known to too many people. He completed the first loop and had to stop in the second loop when it was clear he was not going to make the cut-off. One of the last books he had to locate was entitled "It wasn't always easy, but I sure had fun" - which is what he entitled his Strava entry. He wore orange and blue including a Florida Gator's visor. Of course only 2 runners even completed the "Fun Run" this year of 3 loops. Well done, Chris Hanlon.
Update- I had not realized Karen McNeany - also was a participant in the Barkley race She and Chris met when he crewed for Amelia Boone in 2018 and have been a couple for nearly since that time. Karen finished the first loop outside of the cutoff time but had the distinction of having bib#1 in this years race. Congratulations to Karen as well.

| AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and the dogs - easy pace on the golf course - very dark and the battery on my headlamp was low so the light was not as bright.

| AM - 5.75 miles with Dan and the dogs. Finn decided we were going to run on the golf course again, and would not accept no for an answer.

| AM - 5.75 miles with Dan and the dogs. It had rained and stormed overnight, including some hail, but it was warm enough that I went shirtless the second half of the run. Coincidentally, I think it was last year to the day, that I put in the blog that it was the first day of the year for shirtless running.
Dan had taken his dog, Rosie, off the leash when we were running on the golf course. She inadvertently clipped my heel from behind when we were running on the cart path and took me down like a cornerback making a great open field tackle. Scraped up my leg and knees, and Dan was overly apologetic and Rosie came over to offer her sympathies as well. No real harm done - it looked worse than it actually was.
PM - 4 shirtless miles with Finn after work

| AM - ran with the guys downtown today for a change of scenery. Lots of people out walking and running with their dogs too. We finished on the old track of the former Milton HS which was rebuilt as a STEM school called Innovation Academy. They did not renovate the track which is in poor shape and interestingly actually is not on a level plain - so part of the track is uphill! :)

| AM - 5.25 miles with Finn before work - temperature dropped overnight to the high 30's again - and it appears later this week we may get even colder on those mornings - but that may be the last gasp of cold weather - I hope. The trees and flowers are all in early bloom - the azaleas outside my office window greeted me with pink and white flowers this morning when I opened the shade.
PM - 3 miles with Finn after work.
