| AM - 6 miles with Finn just before noon - temperatures were in the upper 50's by then - lots of pollen in the air. My cold is kicking into high gear today - struggled to get this one in.

| AM - 4.25 miles with Dan and the dogs on the horsetrail roads - temps in the upper 30's and Dan's dog just really was not into the run today - but that was fine with me - still dealing with my cold - so it was on the slow side.

| AM - 4 miles with Finn on a wet, misty, foggy morning after a day and evening of storms. Feeling a bit deflated about my prospects for Boston in a little less than 2 weeks. I will be able to run, but the reality is my pace on my training runs and given my heartrate at those dimnished paces as compared with my recent few years - suggests that I will really need to re-calibrate downward, my expected time for the race. I am just really not running very fast and I think it is the functional deficit of the chronic hamstring issues I have been having for really about 5 months. It is still achy and painful, but sometimes it is more managable than other times. I have been able to put in some decent volume of mileage and got consistent long runs nearly every weekend since late January - but any time I tried to run a workout or do anything with a faster pace - I struggled to recover several days afterwards - and so I just ran easy between long runs. As a result, I probably have decent endurance but no reasonable expectation of a pace to which I am accustomed. Oh well - I will just have to take what I am given and deal with it.

| AM - 5 miles with Finn - cooler again this morning with a front and rain coming through overnight. Decent run - my cold is improving considerably.

| AM - quite cold in the mid 30's with frost in the forecast (though I did not see any) - was going to run on the former golf course but as I got started the work crew for the ongoing construction / conversion to trails arrived with their heavy equipment. So I took Finn out on the roads instead. Not a great run - and somehow got a cramp or something in the left foot in the last half mile or so. Hope it is nothing too serious or lasting.
