AM - 7 miles with Finn before church.  Maybe a bit more discomfort in the Achille's but this last 4-5 days has been significantly better overall with these injuries and with the pace per mile.

AM - 6 miles from Dan's house with Finn - early. He had an early meeting so he only had time for about 3.5 miles - so we looped back to his place and then I went for a few more miles when he was finished.  Cold this morning 38 degrees. Gloves and a hat today.   Good run though.  2200 meters of indoor rowing afterwards.

Am - 5 miles with Dan and the dogs on the trail.   Ran with the Peregrines which was good from a stability on uneven terrain perspective, but they are stiff and I did not have the same positive experience as the Alphaflys on the Achilles with them.   Temperature was literally 16 degress warmer this morning than yesterday.   2200 meters of indoor rowing afterwards.
