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.
