AM - 8.5 miles with Greg Dan and the dogs.  We went into the woods for a mile or so and one of the dogs inadvertently roll blocked me down.  No harm done and it was pretty funny.

AM - just time for 4 miles this morning, as I had a short notice early call scheduled at 7 am and some delays getting outside.   Another rainy cool morning - I am ready for some warmer temps which I think are maybe a few weeks away.

PM - 3 miles on the treadmill and then about 4000 meters on the indoor rowing machine.

AM - 5.5 miles with Dan and the dogs - about half on the golf course - temps in the mid to low 30's but clear skies and a nice sunrise.  
 

PM - 3 miles with Finn after my workday.  So nice outside with temperatures in the upper 60's - I had to get out to enjoy it.

AM - just shy of 6 miles with Dan and the dogs in the neighborhood; it felt colder than the temperature indicated.  The afternoons are warming nicely - may try to get out for a few more miles after work to enjoy the weather. 

PM - just short of 3 miles with Finn on a very pleasant afternoon/early evening after work .  2500 meters of indoor rowing following dinner.

AM - pouring rain and in the mid 50's, a sore throat and an insistent spouse (not to go outside) had me running indoors on the treadmill.   Just 3 miles - may do more later.
