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.

AM - just under 6.5 miles with Dan and the dogs from his place on the horese farm trail roads - much cooler today in the upper 30's than the last few days.  Go run and conversation to begin the new year.

AM - 3.25 miles on the trail with Dan and the dogs.   Got a slightly later start than normal and so decided to go shorter at Dan's request.   The trail surface was mostly frozen - which made for easier running where warmer temps would have resulted in some muddy sections being a bit more treacherous.    Dog clean up was easier too - less mud.

AM - 7 miles with the guys and a new joiner Ryan so we had a total of 5 of us plus Finn from downtown on a cold morning.  Good relaxed effort and great conversation.
