AM - 5.5 miles with Finn out to the Groves development through the neighborhood.  Upper 20's this morning...I know its early March, but it feels like the temperatures should be moderating more than they have been.

AM - 4.25 miles with Dan and Finn from Dan's house.  He probably should not have run today with his hamstring injury - but he had taken 9 days off and thought it felt ok to run.  He was fine for the first couple of miles but then we had to walk and jog.  Good to catch up with him nonetheless.

AM - 6 miles with Finn in the neighborhood.  Felt a little sluggish today and the perceived effort did not match the pace or HR.

AM -  5 miles on the treadmill.   Just not in the mood to run in 30 mph wind gusts with freezing temps today.

AM - did 2 miles with Finn in the neighborhood to give him some exercise and then met the guys in downtown Alpharetta and did another 12.5 miles, which were fairly fast in the low 8 min pace with a few under 8 mins.  Last several miles required some concentration to maintain.  Ben was going to do 17 and Greg did a few more with him.  Good effort today.
