AM - easier 4.75 miles this morning in the rain mainly staying in Moundsville - just touching into Glen Dale past Dicarlos Pizza and back down the extension.  Got warmed up into normal pace sooner today at just over a mile instead of 2 or 3 miles.

AM - 4 miles easy with Finn very early in the neighborhood as I had an early meeting in the office today.  Feeling stronger as I get into the second to third mile on each run in the last week or so, to where my avg pace is low 8's to sub 8 after a mile or two of warming into the effort.

AM - just less than 4.5 miles in what turned out to be a walk/run with Dan who had a sudden hamstring cramp/injury at just under 2 miles - so we jogged and walked it back in.
