AM - 15 miles from the house early before church.  Had Finn take the day off as he's been limping a bit.  Met Dan about halfway through.  Good conservative effort - solid long run.

AM - 4.5 miles with Dan and the dogs on the trail behind my house.  Quite foggy this morning and a little warmer and super dark with the headlamps really only good for a few feet in front of us.  Easy effort following yesterday's long run.

AM - 5.5 miles with Dan and the dogs from his place up to the horsetrail roads.  Kept having to stop for Rosie to put her back on leash each time we'd have a car come by - and cool enough this morning that I wished I had brought some light gloves - 48 degrees.

AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and Finn in the neighborhood- temps in the upper 40's - had to wear a long sleeve shirt.   
 

PM - treadmill workout - 2 x 2 miles @ just less than 7 min pace with a 1/4 mile rest between reps.  Solid effort.  HR was in the upper 150's near the end of each rep.

AM - 4.5 miles with Dan and the dogs on the trail.  Off-trail high grass was wet with dew and the cold morning air of around 45 degrees made my feet cold when they got wet from the grass.  Good easy recovery run.
