AM - 4.25 miles with Dan and his dog Rosie from his house up to Summit Hill.  Slow because of Rosie but enjoyable to catch up with Dan since being away for a week.

AM - 3.75 miles with Dan on the Milton Trail - kinda cold in the mid 30's very foggy and the dirt road was sloppy after a full day of rain yesterday.  He had some early work commitments so we cut this one shorter than usual.

AM - 4.25 miles with Dan from Milton HS through Crabapple on a rainy/sleety cold morning.  Did not really want to run in the weather, but also did not want to run on the treadmill.  Decent effort that my apple watch failed to record.

AM - 5.25 miles with Dan in the neighborhood.  Surprisingly quicker pace than I realized we were going until I looked at the watch when were were done.  I had an early call and then a day in the actual office - so we went early today.  Good bit colder, but no precipitation  - decent running weather once warmed-up.

AM - solo 5.25 miles on a frosty morning on Dismore through Wood Valley and East Bluff - for some reason the last week or so, my avg pace has been about 30 seconds faster per mile - perhaps it is due to the consistently colder weather in the low 30's or nutritional - not complaining either way.

AM - just over 3 miles with Dan in the neighborhood in a misty drizzly cool morning, but not as cold as it has been.  Had to keep it short because we had the grandkids overnight and Tracy needed to take our granddaughter to school by 7 while our grandson stayed asleep and needed me back in time to watch him and Dan was delayed in getting to my house unexpectedly.   Good pace again today.

AM - 7.5 miles with the guys starting from my house on a cloudy gloomy morning but not too cold.  Great conversation, good way to start the weekend.
