AM - 3.5 miles with Dan and Finn on the trail before church.   

AM - a little over 3.5 miles with Dan and the dogs on the Milton Trail (Wood Rd) - temperature in my truck said 24 - but it felt colder than that today.   We've had it seems a solid week of sub-freezing early morning temps - not climbing above the 40's most days.  Dan leaves for a trip tomorrow to see family for the holiday in Connecticut.   Greg is having an ablation procedure on his heart today to address his problem with a-fib...we each texted him good luck before our run this morning.  

Youngest daughter, Delaney arrives here midday today for the Thankgiving week and middle one, Riley arrives with her fiance, Sam on Wednesday.   Looking forward to enjoying some family time and meals and the traditional 5k run/turkey trot Thursday morning.

AM - 3.25 miles with Finn through neighborhood (the route that looks like a picture of hummingbird on the strava map) - Dan is off with his family in Connecticut; Greg's heart procedure was successful yesterday, but he's probably not going to be running for a little while until he is fully recovered.

I did a 1000 meters on the indoor rower.  Later in the day after having heated my pool for 2 days to get the temperture up from 47 degrees - did some deep water running to help the left hamstring.   Not sure why that seems to work for me - probably helps with bloodflow to the muscle or tendon; anyway, by later that evening it felt really remarkably improved.

AM - 3.25 miles with Finn on the trail.  Pace was slow but the pain level was down to a 3 from yesterday when it was near a 5 in the left hamstring.   I did soem indoor rowing again and then after lunch did some more deep water running.  

AM - Atlanta Thanksgiving Day 5k with my family which included Delaney Riley and Sam this year.   We were missing Bradlea and Marcus as little Kaia was sick this morning.  We all ran together and ended up with a surprisingly decent pace this year at just over 9 min per mile.  It's an early start but it was nice to be finished and heading back home by 8 am.    Happy Thanksgiving 🦃!

AM - 3.25 miles with Finn - high hamstring tendonopathy felt particularly unpleasant today and I am catching a cold.  

AM - 3.25 miles on the trail with Finn.  This was day 1,000 on my run streak.  I would have liked to have done a lot longer run but the head cold and hamstring had other plans.  Nice morning however and I made the best of it.   Not everyday is perfect and I love running on good days but on bad ones I run anyway and there's usually something I can find that makes me feel it was worthwhile.  Today was a good day despite my ailment and injuries.  The weather was cool but pleasant and the scenery was beautiful for a late fall morning- I let Finn of leash and he had a ball.
