AM - 3 miles with Riley before she heads home later today.  It was nice to get a few runs in with her during the holiday week.

AM - 5.25 miles with Finn around the neighborhood before sunrise.  Cold to start, but warmed nicely.   Got these smartwool gloves a few days ago - and once warmed-up they are really nice at keeping my hands warm, but they are thin, and not too bulky.

AM - got a late start and only time for 4 miles - chilly cold this morning in the upper 20's.  Tracy is driving her folks home to WV today and I needed to help load the car to see them off.

AM - 5.25 miles with Finn before my workday starts.  Deceptive chilliness in the air even though it was 45 degrees - it felt much colder.   I have finally caught a head cold, having not gotten sick in nearly 2 years since COVID started.   Had the booster vaccine a couple of weeks ago, but getting tested just to be sure later today.

AM - did a walk/run with Dan and the dogs this morning - he's finally on the mend from a hamstring injury and needs to gradually build up to full runs - but we had not connected too much in the last several weeks; it was good to have a chat and run with dogs (and walk at times) as the sun rose over the horizon of horse farms on the trail.

AM - 6 miles with Finn with a run up the Chicken Creek to Freemanville on Dinsmore climb segment.  Decent effort though I was not really trying to go hard.
