AM - 5.25 miles with Finn through the North Valley neighborhood.   Did the Dinsmore hill on the way back.  Decent effort for the last couple of miles.  Still cold and frosty this morning but it is supposed to steadily get warm the remainder of the week and weekend.   This was Day 730 in my run streak - so 2 years of no days off.   
 

PM - 5 miles on the treadmill- 4 miles at MP or approximately 7:20 pace.  HR was in the mid 140's and so this was managable from a cardio perspective.   Feet and legs felt a little rough.

AM - 4.25 miles with Dan and the dogs on the horsetrail roads.   Left hamstring was notably sore following yesterday's treadmill tempo - but Dan forgot his dog's collar and so she was off-lead and we needed to start and stop a good bit to get her back with us from time to time - so the easy run with some breaks was good for the soreness, I think.

AM - did a short run with Finn of 2.5 miles to give him some exercise - then drove to the Alpharetta Greenway and did 20.  Greg joined me at 3 miles and Dan joined at 5 and then they turned around when I was just over 8 miles and so I continued to the end of the trail to get 10 miles and when I was around mile 14 another runner who had been going the opposite direction and was making his turnaround- causghr up to me and then we ran together for about 3 miles and chatted.   He was training for a half Ironman in May.  The last 3 miles were solo.   Quite warm in the upper 60s for this time of year.   First shirtless run of the year.   Good effort with company to help me along the way.
