AM - 3 miles with Dan and the dogs on the trail.  The heart cath showed no blockages - which is good news.  Still not sure what is causing these symptoms though.

AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and Finn from Dan's house up to the horse farm trail roads and back.   Decent effort and a bit faster after the first mile.

AM - 7.25 miles early before meeting everyone for breakfast at Bob's Lunch in Moundsville WV.  Quite cold in the lower 20's with wind and some snow showers on the route.  Dress warmly enough it seemed - but the sidewalks were getting slippery in spots - so I took it easier.  Ran up the Ohio River trail to the top of it in Glen Dale and then back along Rte 2 into town.
