| AM - 5.25 miles with Finn through the North Valley neighborhood. Did the Dinsmore hill on the way back. Decent effort for the last couple of miles. Still cold and frosty this morning but it is supposed to steadily get warm the remainder of the week and weekend. This was Day 730 in my run streak - so 2 years of no days off.
PM - 5 miles on the treadmill- 4 miles at MP or approximately 7:20 pace. HR was in the mid 140's and so this was managable from a cardio perspective. Feet and legs felt a little rough.

| AM - 4.25 miles with Dan and the dogs on the horsetrail roads. Left hamstring was notably sore following yesterday's treadmill tempo - but Dan forgot his dog's collar and so she was off-lead and we needed to start and stop a good bit to get her back with us from time to time - so the easy run with some breaks was good for the soreness, I think.

| AM - did a short run with Finn of 2.5 miles to give him some exercise - then drove to the Alpharetta Greenway and did 20. Greg joined me at 3 miles and Dan joined at 5 and then they turned around when I was just over 8 miles and so I continued to the end of the trail to get 10 miles and when I was around mile 14 another runner who had been going the opposite direction and was making his turnaround- causghr up to me and then we ran together for about 3 miles and chatted. He was training for a half Ironman in May. The last 3 miles were solo. Quite warm in the upper 60s for this time of year. First shirtless run of the year. Good effort with company to help me along the way.

| AM - 5.5 miles with Finn through the neighborhood and Birmingham to Nix. Pleasant temps - but the weather looks like rain and cold the rest of the week.

| AM - Just under 5.5 miles with Dan and Finn from his place (he had a flat tire and so we changed from the trails to his house as our starting point). Randomly my hamstring was much more noticably sore today - after being relatively unnoticable for days.

| AM - heavy thunderstorms overnight and when I awoke this morning - so I slept-in for a bit and then did a short "provisional" 3 miles on the treadmill in case I do not get time or the weather persists later in the day for a proper run.

| AM - 5.25 miles in the neighborhood with Dan and the dogs...he has a contract on a house now, nearer to me than the place he's renting, and he was telling me all about the inpsection etc.

| AM - 5.5 miles with Dan and the dogs on the horsetrail roads - weather is supposed to turn quite bad late today and through Sunday morning with a chance of snow tomorrow and windchills in single digits on Sunday morning. Last Sunday it was nearly 80.

| AM - 3.25 miles with Dan and the dogs on the former golf course - late winter storm came through last night with rain changing over to a mix and snow - with high winds - so I did not want to do a long run in the mess - we just ran easy and let the dogs enjoy the mud of leash.
Later AM - 20 miles on the treadmill - had to stop at one point to assist Tracy who came down with a stomach bug and needed my assistance.

| AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and Finn partly on the trails and a detour to Dan's new house to get an idea of the distance - it is about a mile and a half or so - which means when he finally moves in a few months from now - he'll probably run to the meeting point on Redd road instead of driving.

| AM - steady rain outside - and my water heater was leaking last night - needs to be replaced - so I did not want to run with Finn in the rain and not have warm water to clean him off when we returned - so I stayed inside on the treadmill. Faster paced miles over the last 3.

| AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and the dogs on the horsefarm trails - hamstring and legs were tired from yesterday - still having cold starts to the days in the mid 30's but it will warm to the low 70's.

| AM - 4.5 miles with Dan and Finn from Dan's place. Hamstring felt remarkably good today - inexplicable with the exception of changing up shoes with different drops that last few days, and introducing some additional strengthening exercises - perhaps the lack of a significant long run? Who knows...it'll probably be painful again tomorrow or in the next few days.

PM - 16 miles on the Alpharetta Greenway - mid afternoon- coolish but very windy and dry. Greg met me for about 5 miles late in the run. Hamstring was achy but managable. Last long run in this training period before Boston.

| AM - a little over 5.25 miles with Dan and Finn from Dan's house - decent pace today without his dog - who is really sweet, but not much of a runner and she tends to drag back on the leash and slow the pace. Some days that's good for recovery type runs.

| AM - 4.25 miles - awoke a little late and short on time. Tried out the new AlphaFly Nikes. Quite an unusual looking shoe - and the first half mile felt like I was running on springs.
