AM - heavy rains and thunderstorms early this morning so I stayed inside on the treadmill  for a little over 3 miles.

AM - 4.75 miles with Dan and the dogs on the trail.  Good conversation catching-up on each other's holiday weekend.   My cold is hanging on and seems worse today than the first few days, bleah.   Hamstring was a bit better perhaps responding to the strengthen exercises I have been doing.

AM - heavy thunderstorms this morning and overnight - so I stayed indoors on the treadmill.   My cold is actually worse today than each preceding day.

AM - 4.75 miles with Dan and the dogs from his place.  Faster pace because we were not on trails - very cold this morning at 28 degrees.  My hamstring actually does better with treadmill running - did some research and indeed it takes less hamstring effort on the tready.   I should think about just doing some indoor running for a few days...but then my dog would not get his exercise and I would lose the social interaction of running with the guys...

AM - 4.5 miles with Dan and the dogs on the WC golf course.  Still struggling with the lingering cold, and hamstring tendonopathy was more painful this morning which was exacerbated when I tripped on a root on a downslope, and had to engage it with some quick movement to keep myself from falling.
