| AM - 7 miles with Finn on another cold morning in the 20's before church. Achilles was tender from yesterday but functional.

| AM - 5 miles on the trail in the dark with the dogs - 23 degrees for the spring equinox...quite chilly. Anyway, I of course took another fall in the woods - something about running in the dark even with a headlamp results in me tripping at some point, oddly this time I was just slowing to a walk because the terrain was quite uneven and Dan had stopped in front of me. No real harm done, as I was wearing gloves and tights - and it was a "slow-motion" fall - meaning I was decelerating to a walk and not moving at a normal running clip. Had an abrasion on my knee - more from the material on my pants than a cut from the ground. 2100 meters of indoor rowing afterwards.

| AM - 6 miles with Finn through the neighborhood and across Birmingham into the Grove subdivision and back. First 1/2 was very slow and indeed caused me to question why I was even out there; but gradually the muscles and tendons warmed-up to normal functional levels and the rest of the run went well at my normal training pace (albeit with some achiness in the right Achilles as the primary area of discomfort, followed by the left hamstring tendon) - my right knee is sore from the bruising of yesterday's seemingly insignificant tumble on the trail and the upper back I guess had some residual pain from being jarred when I fell. I am considering not starting my watch until I am fully warmed up - at least for the first 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile and thus eliminating a 10:45 to 11 min pace per mile from the rest of the miles in mid 8 min pace to at least make me feel better about the avg pace when I finish each day.
This is the last day of sub-freezing temps on the weather forecast app for at least the next couple of weeks - hopefully that will be the end of wintery cold in the mornings for the for season.
2100 meters of indoor rowing followed by a yoga session.

| AM - 5.25 miles with Finn on the horsefarm trail roads before work. Better pace for the first mile than yesterday. Finn seems like he may not be feeling well - early in the run he was running by my side instead of leading. He improved later, but I will keep an eye on him. 2100 meters of indoor rowing followed by a short yoga session.
