AM - 5 cold, slow miles with Finn before work. 

PM - 3.5 miles on the treadmill at lunch.  My new Garmin provides "training guidance" - the last couple of days it said my run was "unproductive."   And today it advised me that I was "overreaching".   Hmm..

AM - treadmill workout in the early morning because it was raining, I have a cold and my work schedule won't permit for a lunchtime run.   2 mile warm up then 2 miles at HM pace, with a 400 rest, then 1 mile at HM pace.   I originally planned to do 2 x 2 miles but was feeling a little depleted and thought better of it.  All in all, a decent effort and a solid amount of time with my HR at just below threshold pace.

AM - 3 miles very easy and slow in the cold with Finn before work.   Planning a workout later today if time permits. 

PM - treadmill tempo workout.  15 min warm-up - 30 mins at tempo HR ~150 (around MP effort) and then a 5 mins cool down - for just around 6.5 miles.

AM - a little over 7.5 hilly miles with Finn on a breezy, somewhat rainy morning.  Legs still a little fatigued but felt ok by the last few miles.
