PM - 9 miles in the mist/fog/drizzle on a chilly afternoon to start off the new year.  Hilly route made for a slow pace but felt good to be out.

AM - early start 6 miles on the treadmill with some indoor rowing.  Busy work schedule for the next few days.  My body doesn't really like /enjoy running so early in the morning (even worse with age) - but it may be my only opportunity to run, so...I will grind through it.

AM - got some snow and freezing rain overnight - ground was really icy.   Took Finn out for a run on the golf course.  Quite cold but sunny.  Lots of kids out on the hills sledding. The crunchy icy snow was tough on Finn's paws - even caused some bleeding.  So I brought him inside and cleaned him up. No real harm done.  Ran a few more miles on the treadmill and the some indoor rowing.
