AM - 3.25 miles shake-out run following yesterday's effort.  Very slow first mile.  I wore the Saucony Rides for the first time in a while - and they felt like concrete blocks on my feet.  Much more discomfort in the Achilles as well.   Not ready yet I guess for the regular shoes.

AM - 4.25 miles with Dan and the dogs on the Milton Trail - his foot injury may have turned out to be a spider bite or other infection that was corrected by antibiotics over the weekend.   I added a couple of extra miles on the treadmill after returning to the house.

AM - 5.25 miles with Finn in the neighborhood - low 30's and frost on the ground this morning.  Two days ago it was 30 degrees warmer in the morning.  

PM - 2 miles on the treadmill and 2000 meters on the indoor rower.

AM - about 3.25 miles with Dan and the dogs at Milton HS.  We got started late and then Dan had to leave early - so I did another 2.25 miles at home on the treadmill.
