PM - 5 miles with Finn in the afternoon whilst my wife was hosting a wedding shower at the house and I needed to have him out of sight and sound during the event.  Quick pace both yesterday and today.

PM - 5 miles on the treadmill in the afternoon at work.   Struggling a little with jetlag - and so I opted to sleep instead of getting up early to run this morning.

AM - 4.5 miles with Dan and Finn on a morning where it was right around 32 even this late in the season.  Hat and gloves.  Was not feeling it this morning - the effort was high again - for 3 out of the last 4 days - so I probably should try to run easier for a couple of days.

I had my 3 month check-up with the cardiologist this morning and I have been fully released to return to my normal training activity without restrictions.  Also, got specific written permission to run a marathon in June, to share with my wife for proof.  :)

AM - a little over 5 miles this morning with Dan and Finn.  I purposely ran easier today - body / mind were feeling fried with too many days in a row of intense efforts.  Felt much better.  Travel later today.
