AM - 4.25 miles with Dan and the dogs on the Milton Trail.   Resumed taking iron supplements about 10 days ago and after getting lab results from Friday that showed low Ferritin numbers.   Feeling remarkably stronger not only during running but also just at rest too.  2100 meters of indoor rowing afterward followed by a short yoga session.

AM - 5 muddy miles on the trail with Dan and the dogs early after an overnight rain.  Dan's white dog decided to roll in a huge muddy puddle.  Fortunately I have a dog bath in the basement workshop that comes in handy for days like today.   2100 meters of indoor rowing followed by a yoga session.

AM - 5.25 miles with Finn on a hilly loop this morning.   Right achilles/PF a bit more painful throughout the run unfortunately - left hamstring tendinopathy is still annoyingly not fully resolved.  Pushed through it though and finished much faster than I started.   2100 meters of indoor rowing followed by a short yoga session.

AM - 4.25 miles with Dan and the dogs on the trail.  He had an early meeting so we had to cut it shorter than originally planned.  Right achilles and left proximal hamstring still problematic - worse at the start.   2100 meters of indoor rowing follwed by a yoga session.

AM - 5.25 miles on the trail with the guys and the dogs.  It was rainy and cool so we were the only ones out there and had the dogs off-leash; would have gone a little longer but Finn turned back home and we could not get him to come back.   Surprisingly much less discomfort in both the Achilles and hamstring today.   No idea why but I will take it.
