| AM - 5 miles with Finn on the coldest morning so far this season - temperature of 35 with a feels-like of 30. Delayed heading out until sunrise which was around 6:45 - really prefer running after sunrise if time permits.

| AM - 5.5 miles with Finn on part of the Forsyth trail and some improvised trails in the woods - as the main trail was closed off with fencing. I suspect the trail probalhas some trees down on parts of it from the storm last week.

| PM - 10 miles on the treadmill - wanted to get a little more distance and it was unseasonably warm and humid yesterday and today - probably too much for Finn for that distance - plus I could watch football whilst running.

| AM - 5 miles with Finn before starting my workday. Tired / sluggish this morning - which I guess I could attribute to the 10 miler yesterday on the treadmill which was at a decently quick pace....but it was just 10 miles and was not that fast....Alternatives could include that it was just not a great day for me, or just old age. :)

| AM - ran with Dan and our dogs - the gps on my Garmin watch evidently was not functioning propertly and it recorded 6 miles (without a map to show the route when uploaded to Strava). Pace per mile it recorded was likewise much faster than I normally run and I would have been keenly aware if I was running 7 min pace or faster. I am going to say it was somewhere between 5 and 5.5 miles instead of the 6 it recorded. Have not run with the Garmin watch in a little while, and perhaps it just needed some time to link up to the GPS before I started. I more frequently run with the Apple Watch because of the mobile phone feature in case I need to be reached or need to reach someone by phone or text (which happens once in a blue moon - but you never know) but the battery needed to be recharged and Garmin is my back up watch.
PM - 3 more miles on the treadmill.

| AM - about 5.75 miles with Dan and Greg and their dogs. I gave Finn the morning off as he was a bit gimpy after yesterday's run. May have a strained muscle or a bruise paw pad. Really dense fog and dark - I was the only one with a headlamp - pretty sure we could not have done the run with out it.

| AM - tempo effort (unplanned) with Greg and our dogs. We were conversational for the whole run - but the effort was noticeably harder than I normally run - but I think this was Greg's easy pace - most miles around 6:45 or so.

| PM - 7 miles with Finn- the last 3 on the quick side including the "climb" up Glenover in White Columns. Cooler weather is leading to some faster paces lately.

| AM - 3 easy shakeout miles with Finn. Chilly this morning. Ran a bit harder over the last 3 days than usual - and thought I could use just a few easy miles this morning. May run a few more later if time permits.
PM - 5 more miles on the treadmill after my workday.

| AM - 6.25 miles with Dan and our dogs around the golf course. Made a complete loop of the perimeter. Grass was frosty/icy and my shoes were slippery - so had to keep the effort a bit cautious.

| AM - a little over 5 miles this morning with Finn - partially on the golf course. Having some progressively more pronounced issues with plantar fasciitis on the left foot this week.
As of tomorrow, I will have run 265 days (since March 1) without a rest day - having run at least 3 miles per day. Unplanned at the beginning, but it has now sort of evolved into my own personal COVID project - Originally, after having run a few months with no days off, I thought about my goal being 100 days in a row without a rest; and then 200 and then a year. Now my goal is to run everyday (at least 3 miles) until there is a vaccine in place, distributed and the pandemic can be deemed over.

| AM - just under 5.75 miles with Dan and our dogs around the golf course this morning. Colder than expected - the outside temperature said 41 but there was frost on most of the golf course - which the dogs really seem to like.

| AM - Happy Thanksgiving! My immediate family did a neighborhood 5k together to keep our tradition on the holiday. Normally we do a turkey trot race together- but happy we are all healthy and safe and can be together under the circumstances this year.

| AM - "Race Report". I ran 10k this morning for the virtual version of the Peachtree road race. Originally scheduled for July 4 and then postponed to Thanksgiving Day - and then changed to a virtual event - I plotted out a route near my house and gave a decent effort. Fairly hilly at times but mostly favorable overall. Time was 41:27 for an average pace of 6:38 according to Strava. 1.75 miles warm up and a 1 mile cool down.

| AM - 4.25 miles with Finn in a recovery effort from yesterday's run. Felt very little soreness or fatigue but it may be delay in its onset.
