PM - 5 miles on the treadmill at the end of my workday.  Was not feeling all that well this morning and likewise it was raining - so as the day went on and I felt a little better, the run on the treadmill was good.  Felt off again later in the evening.

AM - 3 miles on the trail in a light mist/fog with Dan and the dogs - the trail was extremely muddy and we were going intentionally slowly - but really had little choice.   Saw the cardiologist later in the morning - and she is scheduling me for a heart cath - as I feel like something is going on; but hopefully this will either confirm no stenosis or if there is, they can hopefully address it.

AM - 5 miles on the treadmill as it was raining and cold, and very windy.  Dan had an early appointment so I opted to stay indoors today.

AM - just under 4 miles with Dan and the dogs on the WC golf course.   Literally 30 degrees colder than it was two days ago this morning.   Easy effort - got a heart cath scheduled for Monday.  No issues while running so far

AM - a little under 5.25 miles with Finn on a frosty morning through Wood Valleu and the East Bluff neighborhood.  Ran up the Chicken Creek to Dinsmore segment climb as I was feeling decent.  Not an all out effort by any means but ran my best time on that segment in over a year a top 6 for me according to Strava.  So that felt reassuring.

AM - just under 7.5 miles with the guys and with Finn from Downtown - we took a different route and for some reason we paired off with Greg and I going a bit faster pace than Daryl and Dan - running low 8's and a few sub 8 miles.  Felt decent and certainly not struggling - but not feeling quite normal.
