AM - NYC run along the Hudson River Greenway from midtown to the Battery and back up Broadway.  The watch kept stopping randomly and twice it decided that I was doing yoga - Apple Watch .... so 11 miles is an estimate.

AM - just under 6 miles with Finn and Dan in the neighborhood.  Cold and windy...in the low 40's.  

PM - 3 miles on the treadmill at lunch time easy.   Felt really light and easy.

AM - 5 miles with Finn and Dan - faster this morning, but HR was lower and seems to be trending that way even at rest - 48 bpm overnight for the last 5 days or so.  Finally researched and located a solution for the Apple Watch randomly stopping during runs...there is a lock feature (swipe right) that I was not previously aware of that can be engaged to prevent clothing, moisture, or other unintentional contact with the watch-face from switching off the chronograph.   Brilliant. 

PM - 3.5 miles easy at lunchtime - absolutely perfect weather day.  Great to get outside in the sunshine.

AM - 5 miles with Finn and Dan - slightly slower.  My legs are a bit worn-out from the doubles on Monday and Tuesday and the 11 mile "long" run on Sunday.   Although I have time on my schedule for a second run today, I will rest instead.

AM - a little over 3.5 miles this morning with Finn.  I had gotten up early to run with Dan but he bailed in favor of more sleep, so I went back to bed for another 45 mins but felt like the dog needed to have some exercise - so had to run shorter with limited time.

PM - 6 miles on the treadmill at lunchtime.

PM - pretty strong storms through the night and early morning complete with tornado warning sirens kept me from running until late in the day - 7.25 miles with Finn through the neighborhood.

AM - 6 quicker miles with Dan and his coworker friend Greg (and his dog Bodie) on the dirt roads of Brittle and Summit - cold and rainy and consequently muddy.  I was tempted to run longer but I have added more than 10% volume this week over my average mileage for the last month already - and I was late anyway.  Good running week for adding miles.
