| AM - 4.25 miles trail run with Dan and the dogs. Everything is frozen on the ground with the third or fourth straight day of sub 30 degree temperatures - which meant far less mud and dirt on the dogs to clean up after the run.

| AM - 3.5 miles with Dan and Finn from Dan's house. Early and short because Dan had a call at 6:30 - if he had let me know the night before, I would have met him earlier to go a little longer. As it is, I will probably do a second run anyway this afternoon. Quite cold again this morning with feels-like temps at 21 degrees due to the steady breeze. Started on Zetia - reattempt #3 last night. First attempt was in 2021 - took it without statin for 2 weeks, and got quite severe muscle pain and stiffness in the lower back - and discontinued. Tried it again with statin last November/December - and that was actually worse. Due to the multiple efforts and failures with the statin, this is one last shot doing the Zetia solo/without statin to see if I can tolerate it.
PM - 3 miles on the treadmill after my workday.

| AM - 5.25 miles with Finn on a cold morning at 23 degrees. Dan was having some chest pains - and decided not to run - and was considering a hospital visit.

| AM - 4.5 miles with Dan and the dogs on the WC Golf course. Very easy pace due to Dan's chest pains yesterday that he had checked out at the ER and they gave him the all clear.

| AM - 4.25 miles with Dan and Finn on the Milton Trail. Coldest day yet at 21 degrees, but my new Tracksmith tights and neck gaiter (along with a couple long sleeve shirts, gloves and a hat) were perfect for the conditions.

| PM - 5 miles on the treadmill at the end of my workday. Was not feeling all that well this morning and likewise it was raining - so as the day went on and I felt a little better, the run on the treadmill was good. Felt off again later in the evening.

| AM - 3 miles on the trail in a light mist/fog with Dan and the dogs - the trail was extremely muddy and we were going intentionally slowly - but really had little choice. Saw the cardiologist later in the morning - and she is scheduling me for a heart cath - as I feel like something is going on; but hopefully this will either confirm no stenosis or if there is, they can hopefully address it.

| AM - 5 miles on the treadmill as it was raining and cold, and very windy. Dan had an early appointment so I opted to stay indoors today.

| AM - just under 4 miles with Dan and the dogs on the WC golf course. Literally 30 degrees colder than it was two days ago this morning. Easy effort - got a heart cath scheduled for Monday. No issues while running so far

| AM - a little under 5.25 miles with Finn on a frosty morning through Wood Valleu and the East Bluff neighborhood. Ran up the Chicken Creek to Dinsmore segment climb as I was feeling decent. Not an all out effort by any means but ran my best time on that segment in over a year a top 6 for me according to Strava. So that felt reassuring.

| AM - just under 7.5 miles with the guys and with Finn from Downtown - we took a different route and for some reason we paired off with Greg and I going a bit faster pace than Daryl and Dan - running low 8's and a few sub 8 miles. Felt decent and certainly not struggling - but not feeling quite normal.

| AM - 3 miles with Dan and the dogs on the trail. The heart cath showed no blockages - which is good news. Still not sure what is causing these symptoms though.

| AM - 7.25 miles early before meeting everyone for breakfast at Bob's Lunch in Moundsville WV. Quite cold in the lower 20's with wind and some snow showers on the route. Dress warmly enough it seemed - but the sidewalks were getting slippery in spots - so I took it easier. Ran up the Ohio River trail to the top of it in Glen Dale and then back along Rte 2 into town.

| AM - 11 miles this morning from Moundsville up to Glen Dale - out the road along Little Grave Creek - very cold again today at 16 degrees. My fingers and thumbs got extreme cold at about 8 miles and I could not find a solution even with liners and mittens. Decent run but really uncomfortable with the cold fingers. Beard got all frosted-up as well - probably because I was out longer and there was more moisture in the air or something.

| AM - 2.5 miles very early before getting on the road back to ATL. Figured I would be too tired to run later in the day, and so I got up had a short run, made breakfast for everyone glad to get a few steps in as well, because I have cold coming on.

| AM - 4.25 miles on the trail with Dan and the dogs. Drove through heavy rains nearly the whole journey back home and my cold was worse. Did not feel up to meeting the guys in the drizzle and cold feeling sick - but Darryl tapped-out that he was sick, and Greg was slow to respond to texts for an agreeable starting time - so Dan met me at the house and we slogged through some very muddy trails and then gave the dogs baths afterwards.

| AM - slept poorly and there were heavy storms through the night and into the morning. Tornado watch and lightning kept me from going outside, much to Finn's disappointment, so I did 5 on the treadmill. Hoping my cold will improve over the next 24-36 hours to where I begin to feel normal.
