AM - a little over 5 miles this morning in WC with Dan.  He's headed back to CT to see his mom who is back in the hospital and not doing well.  Spent a good amount of time chatting about that with him.  Surprisingly fairly quick pace today - as the weather damp and foggy but in the upper 40's - so not too cool and pleasant for running and talking.

AM - 5.5 miles solo today - went out on the finally reopened trail and out through the East Bluff neighborhood and came back by the clubhouse for a full loop.  Colder today in the upper 30's - decent pace again today.

AM - just under 9.5 miles this morning solo.  Rainy at times - decided not to meet up with the guys - several were out of town or unavailable and I was feeling a bit tired the last two or three days.   My first 3 miles were really slow - but intentionally just allowing myself to run to feel - so like 10 to 11 min pace.   Then without even really trying around 3 miles I started running mid 8's with a couple of sub 8's but all completely relaxed.  Good feel run today.
