AM - just under 2 miles in WV - trying to ease back into things - very depleted from the stomach virus from the prior 48 hours.

AM - 5k with Dan at Milton HS this morning.  Wanted to take it easy another day or two as I am still feeling the impact of the stomach virus.

AM - 4.75 miles with Dan in WC and partly on the golf course.  Slower than yesterday but hillier and on the grass in parts.  Feeling better.

AM - 5.75 miles starting from Dan's house taking a new route into the Triple Crown neighborhood and out after the climb to Freemanville.   Much faster pace than yesterday despite the additional elevation on this one.

AM - 5 miles with Dan at Milton HS.  He wanted to do some tempo effort - so after the first mile we ran right at or below 8 min pace for the remainder of the run - doing laps around the mostly flat parking lots around the campus.   He was very pleased with the effort.
