AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and Greg - we got together on a Tuesday this week because Greg's run streak hit 1 year as of today.  Fairly quick pace for the rolling route on a very cold morning with wind chills in the low teens.  Got a photo together and had a coffee and chatted at Starbucks before heading home.

AM - 4.5 miles easier today with Dan to close out the year.   Planning to do a 10k on Saturday - the reverse route of the Peachtree race which they are calling the "polar opposite" so wanted to take it a little slower and shorter.  Finished out the year with less than 2000 miles but about 50 miles more than last year.

AM - 5 miles solo on the Nix route with a short jaunt into the new development.  Not quite as cold but still below freezing.  Tried to keep things easy today.
