PM - 6 miles with Finn on the former golf course - I have not been out there in a few months.  It is really overgrown and lots of downed trees.  But it was a nice day and it was quiet out there - cannot wait until the city finally provides the funding to convert it to a managed park.

AM - 5-ish miles with Finn.  The GPS feature on the Garmin seemed inaccurate today and did not record a map.  May have run less than that.

AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and our dogs - mostly on the golf course well before sunrise.   2500 meters of indoor rowing afterwards.   Not sure what I am doing with the rowing - as in I do not have a plan or a goal - I just get on the machine and row for a set distance - which doesn't seem too far that I will be sore or negatively impact my running - but trying to find a sweetspot of effort and distance to feel like it is somehow providing me some benefit - whether that is strength or additional fitness.

AM - 6.5 miles along the Ohio River in WV on a railtrail.  Very foggy and damp, unseasonably warm, about half of the leaves are down off the trees.  Saw 8 deer including a buck on the trail one of which did not even leave the trail as I passed by.  They are so much larger than the ones I see in my area of Georgia.
