PM - a little over 4 miles with Finn late afternoon.   Was on calls much of the day dealing with COVID-19 business and legal issues globally for my company.   Quite stressful.  Should have run early instead of later.  Early morning runs start my day off better mentally/psychologically it seems versus running late in the day.

AM - 4 miles with Finn and neighbor Dan in a light drizzle/mist - still cool in the upper 40's for this time of year, it seems.   Gray wet days working from home makes this period of uncertainty a bit more depressing.  
 

PM - 3 more on the treadmill at the end of the day.  Did 4000 meters of indoor rowing and 15k on the Peloton bike.

AM - started off to meet up with Dan for a run this morning, but met him outside his house and he said he was having sharp pain in his knee - so Finn and I ran a little longer without him.  Chilly out - at least colder than I had expected in the upper 40's, but no rain for a change.
