AM - 4 miles with Finn before church.   Almost zero pain/stiffness in the left glute after not taking the statin yesterday.   Finn unfortunately had a seizure about an hour after we ran.   Concerned for his condition.   He's not had a seizure since June when he was place on medication.   If he has more, we will consult with the vet to see if he needs to increase the dosage which as I understand is quite minimal.

AM - 4.25 miles with Dan and Finn from Milton HS and through Crabapple.   A bit warmer in the upper 40's.  Zero pain or discomfort anywhere since cessation of the statin on Saturday.   Ran fairly quickly too.   Finn did well, and did not have any seizures post run so far.

AM - 5.25 miles from Dan's house with Finn along the horsefarm trail roads.   Temps up into the low 50's today - very pleasant for running.   Resumed the statin yesterday and have had no muscle soreness, myalgia or faux injury pain at least as of today.  Will continue with it day by day until a few days before the NYC marathon.  Since I am going to be running with my two daughters at their pace, the effort / intensity will be much less than normal for me and so I would expect to resume the statin a few days after the race.

AM - 4.5 miles on the trail with Dan and Finn.  Lots of construction / new development being done on the trail after the first mile or so.  They are building a waterway/dam connection from the ponds to Chicken Creek in addition to building out the trail from the ponds to Dinsmore.  We went into the back woods and found that they had removed and created a huge swath for new trail to be constructed on the upper portion too.   All of this was of course blocked with signage and "crime scene" tape, but we were undeterred.

AM - 9 miles with Dan and Daryl.  First 3 were with Finn - who I dropped off back at the house to keep his mileage volume modest.   Good run with the guys - beautiful fall weather conditions and colors.
