AM - 4.5 miles very easy on the treadmill due to some rainy and cold windy conditions outside this morning. 

AM - 4.25 miles with Dan on the Milton Trail this morning.  Temps in the upper 30's in sharp contrast to Saturday where it was in the 60's early morning.   

AM - 5.25 miles in the neighborhood.  Great weather.  Tracked all of my friends who were running yesterday in Boston - everyone had good solid races - 2 of them had PR's.  Definitely a little fomo for me this year, but I am still good with my decision to retire from marathons. 

AM - 5 miles tempo/threshold effort at Milton HS.  I am in a pattern of doing some faster miles at the school every week to 10 days.  It is as flat a route as I can find here - the permitter of the school parking lots is about a mile and then in the last loop I do a couple of laps on the middle school track.  Did this solo today and averaged right at 7:30 pace - with the last 3 miles at 7:15 pace.  It was an honest hard effort and about what I would expect to run in a 10k race.  Pleased with this for my age today (will turn 60 in a couple of months) - but at the same time sort of bittersweet that this would have been a marathon pace for me even 5 years ago.   Cannot escape father time.  

AM - 3.75 very easy miles with Dan and Rosie on the trail.  Recovery effort following yesterday's tempo run. Little stiff and some niggles in the legs to start, but the gradual warm up was perfect to allow for a comfortable latter half.  

AM - 5.25 miles in the neighborhood and on the WC golf course.   Felt really crappy today.  Could not get moving and probably should have run to feel and without my watch.  

AM - 9 miles with Dan and Darryl from Dan's house, out Providence up Birmingham HWY and back along the Milton Trail.  Darryl and I did the Summit hill out and backs as Dan returned home.  Decent effort.  Good conversation.
