AM - 4 miles with Finn in the neighborhood and partially on the golf course.   Left hamstring has some lingering soreness - not sure if it is origin is from running, or not stretching enough, or from the new non-statin medication that I have been prescribed.

AM - 6 miles on the treadmill on a rainy morning.  Just did not want to run in the cold rain today.  Did a short pull on the rowing machine afterwards.

AM - 5.5 miles with Finn on a much colder morning - 28 degrees - but not much wind - so it was actually not really uncomfortable at all.

AM - 5.25 miles with Finn.  Felt much colder this morning - even though the temperature was about the same.   My two youngest girls came into town for the holiday, along with my in-laws.  The last group arrives this evening - Tracy's brother and our nephew and his wife.   Love this holiday.

AM - 5k run with my family and Finn around the neighborhood - only 3 of us decided to go this year and we opted not to awake super early to do the Atlanta Thanksgiving day 5k.   But we had a nice relaxed pace and conversation.  Riley's recovery from a foot stress fracture is coming along well with no symptoms today in her new Hokas.  Delaney was in much better fitness than she expected - but she lives in Brooklyn now and is walking much more having sold her car and she's been playing soccer with a local coed league.  I made cinnamon rolls and maple rolls for breakfast afterward and enjoyed coffee with the rest of our house guests watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.  

Happy Thanksgiving!

AM - 3 miles with Finn and Riley.  Her foot stress fracture seems to be healed and so we just ran easy and walked in intervals to keep from doing too much too soon.
