AM - about the same mileage as yesterday 5.25 more or less; different route today.  Severe thunderstorms and high winds with some tornados in vicinity - lots of debris evident this morning.  Part of my driveway was covered in mud runoff from my neighbor's property which is uphill from mine.  Spent an hour cleaning it off.

AM - 6 miles with Finn on a cool morning - reversed a route that I normal run clockwise. I think I may prefer this direction for a while.

AM - a little over 6.25 miles with Finn on a crisp breezy morning - in the 30's again.  Was not really motivated to even run as I went out - and thought at best I would just run 3 or 4 but after I warmed up a bit - I got comfortable with it.  Turned out to be a good run.

AM - 6 quick-ish miles with Finn on another morning cold enough for hat and gloves.

AM - 5k with Finn.  Took it a little easier this morning - Finn has an eye infection and an ear infection, but he still wanted to get out to run.
