AM - 4 miles on the trail with Dan and the dogs - but Dan had to cut it short for an early commitment - so I did a couple more on the treadmill when I got home.  Quite cold today with windchills in the mid 20's.   Hamstring was tight and noticeable - today and I am concerned that it is related to resuming the statin therapy; but could also be a result of doing some rowing this week, and a few doubles.

AM - 5.25 miles or so with Dan and the dogs on the trail.  Quite cold again and a bit icy from the rains and moisture on the ground from the weekend rains.  Took it very slow and easy to avoid injury - lots of debris and downed trees to navigate around in the backwoods too.   

PM - 2.25 miles on the treadmill at the end of my workday.

AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and Finn starting at Milton HS then a loop through Crabapple and back on the new sidewalk along Mayfield.   Nice little neighborhood and mostly flat.  Still quite cold.  Pace was faster because Rosie was not with us and because of the lack of hills.

AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and the dogs from his house.  With Rosie and her disinterest in running well on leash the pace was much slower and comfortable - which was fine by me but frustrating for Dan who said his leash-arm was really being stretched backwards regardless of how slowly we went.   My watch was acting up - showing 60% battery when I left my house and only 10% when I arrived at Dan's  (5 mins away) and then completely died on the run only to resurrect on my drive home showing 35% battery.  Must be time for a operating system update.

AM  - 9 miles with Dan and Greg (and Finn) from my house through the neighborhood and the golf course into the gated section of WC and into Tullamore before looping back.   Good run with the guys.  Our weather apps said it was snowing (light flurries) (a bit unexpected) but we never saw any.
