| AM - 3 miles with Finn and Riley at Bell Memorial park. Yoga afterwards.
I re-read my doctor's orders and was pleased to see that I am only restricted to 3 miles per day for the first 30 days (instead of 8 weeks - as I had previously thought) - so by the end of next week I can increase my mileage to 5 miles per day.

| PM - 5 miles on the treadmill at lunchtime. Ran the first 3 at a moderately high aerobic HR effort and then moved the speed to 6:47 for the 4th mile and then 6:31 for the 5th mile with the last half at 6:20 pace. Just to see how I would feel. All systems seemed to check out well. My HR was just slightly above threshold for the last little bit, but it felt good to see where I was fitnesswise. Yoga before work.

| AM - just about 4 miles with Finn and my neighbor Dan on a frosty cold morning in the 20's. Ran another mile or so on the treadmill to even the distance out to 5 miles total, then a light yoga session.

| AM - 5 miles with Finn. Hilly route - probably a bit more effort than I should have done on a couple of the hills, but I felt up to it. Yoga session after.
Per my doctor's permission - I ran 5 miles each day this week. This worked out to 35 miles for the week. I looked back at my log - it is the most miles that I have run in a week since early October. I did not realize it had been so long since I was running regularly without issues. I feel so much improved physically, that I have no doubt that I would have no problem putting more miles in. I have to keep it limited to 5 miles per day however until the first part of March per doctor's orders. I feel like this will be a restriction I wish I did not have, but at the same time, I am still recovering - so I need to respect that processs, plus it will probably help keep me from getting injured by doing too much too soon.

| AM - 5 miles with Finn in the neighborhood - I was going to head out early before sunrise, but felt like I might be catching a cold, and the temps were in the low teens with the windchill - so I waited until later in the morning to go out. Still might be catching a cold but had a good run. Yoga session early.

| AM - 5 miles on the Forsyth trail with a group of men from my church. Quite cold - below freezing and so the boards on the boardwalk parts of the trail had some icy patches. This was a very very easy pace to accomodate for everyone. Great conversation and good healthy activity for a Saturday morning.

| PM - 5 miles on the treadmill at work. Still have this lingering cold - which kept me up much of the night coughing...Tomorrow's weather forecast has a winter storm warning and schools are closing. 1-2 inches of possible accumulations. But its ATL - so its a big deal.

| AM - yoga before work then 5 miles on the treadmill at lunchtime. Snow never materialized today. Made for a really easy commute with schools and many people working from home today.

| PM - lunchtime treadmill run of 5 miles. I picked it up in the last two miles with the final 800 at under 6 min pace. Really enjoyed it. Yoga in the morning before work and then a session after the run.
