AM - a little over 3 miles very easy - recovery effort on the trail following yesterday's 10k.  A little sore but not too bad - but kinda tired.

AM - 5 miles through the neighborhood and around part of the golf course - very slow again at recovery effort.  Really did not want to exert too much today - and though nothing hurts per se - there's more muscle soreness today than yesterday and energy levels were low.  Still a nice morning in the mid 30's and foggy.

AM - 4.25 miles with Dan and his dog Rosie on the trails from his house.   Slower paced and shorter in length because of Rosie, but it was good nonetheless and to catch up with him after he was out of the country at a wedding over a long weekend in Costa Rica.

AM - a little over 5 miles in on the WC Golf course with Dan and Darryl on a very foggy and unseasonably warm morning.   Slower because of the hills and the surface - but gradually getting back to normal training pace.
