PM - 7.5 miles on the treadmill.  Stopped at RR Sports to pick up some new shoes earlier - and they nearly insisted on doing a gait analysis and 3D images of my feet - and convinced me to try out some custom insole which they mold to your feet while you wait. New Saucony Triumph ISO's with insoles felt comfy on my run.  Wintry mix of weather heading our way late tonight.

AM - 7 miles on the treadmill.  Slightly slower than yesterday - had wanted to go longer but lacked motivation this morning.

AM - too cold for me to consider outdoor running this morning (20 degrees) - but I wanted to mix things up a bit.  So I did 3000 meters of indoor rowing then a 2 mile warm up followed by about 4 miles at essentially a moderated marathon pace on the treadmill.  Not too fast but considerably faster than I have been running for the last couple of weeks - as my foot is feeling stronger now, and I felt as though it could endure a bit more stress.

PM - 9 very slow and easy miles - feeling a bit under the weather.  Got a new puppy today.  His name is Finn.
