AM - terrible night trying to sleep; my cold continues to linger and I was up coughing.   Rains were extensive all day yesterday and even overnight into the morning.   I decided not to run at 45 degrees in the rain and stayed indoors on the treadmill for 3 miles.   Between my cold and the proximal hamstring tendinopathy - I am really not having much luck in the running department. 

PM - ~ 2 miles of deep water running in the afternoon.   I just use the treadmill setting on my watch and use the distance it provides - but I am actually in the water for what would normally be 3.5 to 4 miles running on land.     Enjoyed the effort all alone in the pool in winter, though it was not cold at all today, it was gray and drizzly and the trees are all bare - nevertheless the hamstring tendon was not being compressed with the absence of any impact - so it was good.
