| AM - 5k with Finn before church. I got a larger size shoe and tested them out this morning. It seemed to help with the problem and the pace was good. I think these shoes change my gait a little and though I like them - they are not quite as good as the Alphaflies.

| AM - a little over 5 miles this morning with Dan and Finn through North Valley to E. Bluff. Nearly 60 degrees this morning - hard to accept that in 48 hours the temp is forecast to be over 30 degrees cooler with a low of 29.

| AM - 3.75 miles with Dan and Finn on the Milton Trail. Dan had an early morning meeting and needed to go early and shorter than usual.

| AM - 4.5 miles with Dan and Finn in the neighborhood. Temps got significantly cooler but did not go below 30 as predicted - but right at 32 and very windy. Got the running tights and windbreaker out for the run today. Once we got rolling, the cold was not very noticeable at all.

| AM - just a 5k with Dan and Finn at Milton HS - cold again today (28 degrees in my jeep) - Running in NYC on Sunday so kept it flat and comfortable with not too much volume. Honestly though I am too old and have not been 100% healthy most of the year with various injuries to be thinking about running a "good time". Mainly now I am running to complete the course and enjoy the social experience at a manageable pace. I am registered for Tokyo in March and likewise don't want to overdo this one and end up with an injury that keeps me out of getting my 6th World Marathon Majors medal. Hopefully Richie's fitness will have improved some since Berlin last month and perhaps we will run closer to 9 min pace in the first half of the race and edge faster in the second half if he's feeling well. Oddly both of us are running this one as our 13th NYC race. Richie actually has 13 starts, but he DNF'd in the early 90's when he was young and over-zealous with his pace early-on, only to crash and burn late. If I understand the rules at NY correctly, if we complete 15 of the races - we become a "Legacy" runner and will obtain guaranteed entries to the event without going through the lottery system or charity entries. (Odds are that if I could complete 2 more after this one, that I may not have any more desire to do another one! :) )

| AM - a little over 3 miles with Delaney in Brooklyn - we met up with a group at the local Tracksmith store which is close to her apartment. I thought I may find something to buy there too - but nothing caught my eye. I awoke with a GI issue that had me in the bathroom repeatedly - so I took some pepto - hoping not to mess things up for the race on Sunday.
