AM - 4 miles easy on the trail with Dan and Finn before church.  Misty and cooler this morning - but I was tired from yesterday - not so much from the run, but mostly from the yard work of clearing leaves and actually cutting the grass (cannot remember doing a cut this far into the year).

AM - 4.75 miles or so with Dan and Finn from Milton HS and through Crabapple.  Good bit faster today on the flat-ish roads.  Dan complained late that he was struggling with the pace at about 3.5 miles which may have been slightly faster, but to my mind it was consistent with the effort throughout.

AM - 3.75 miles or so with Dan and Finn on the Milton Trail, very early as I have a business meeting early at the office today.  Cooler out - more seasonal.

AM - 5 miles in the neighborhood with Dan and Finn.  Dan got a new car that he was proud to show-off this morning.  I think based on the level of achiness, that I will skip the statin for a couple of days.

AM - 5 miles on the treadmill due to heavy rains and colder temps outside.   Decent run on the 'mill - I do not think I have been on it in over a month or more.   Takes some time to get used to it after being off it for a while.   Thinking about upgrading to a new one with more features...this one is over 10 years old now.  Felt better today having skipped the statin yesterday.

AM - 4.5 miles on the trail with Dan and the dogs.  Quite muddy and wet in some areas from the rain yesterday - much cooler and foggy too.  Fairly slow going in spots - including areas where there is ongoing contruction work for new drainage systems.

AM - 7 well-paced miles with Dan, Darryl and Finn from downtown.  Temps were just below 40 degrees - for the coldest morning we have had in quite some time.  Good solid run and good conversation.
