AM - another cold rainy/drizzly morning - Dan had the day off for President's day and decided to sleep-in, so Finn and I plodded along "solo" today.   

PM - 2.25 miles on the treadmill after work to transition/stress relieve and then 2500 meters of indoor rowing.

AM - 3.25 miles on the treadmill before starting my workday.   Weather forecast said black ice was likely and so Dan and I decided we would try to run at noon for the main run of the day.

PM - noon - with Dan and the dogs - it was only 25 degrees at noon and quite windy.   No ice was noticeable - so we probably could have run in the morning.   I was pressed for time and could only squeeze in 5 miles.  
 

PM - 3500 meters of indoor rowing

AM - 5 miles on the treadmill - steady rain, 38 degrees with occasional lightning, and a gimpy Finn, kept me from going outdoors this morning.

AM - 5.5 miles - solo as Finn needs a few days to recover from whatever he tweaked when he slipped on the ice when we were running a few days ago; and Dan texted that he's got a sore throat and his son has had a slight fever - so playing it safe and keeping our distance for a few days.
