AM - 5 miles with Dan and the dogs on the trail.  Very windy making the high 30's feel closer to the upper 20's.   Easy effort and we stayed away from the backwoods opting for multiple loops around the pond instead of navigating fallen trees and debris in the darkness.

AM - a little over 4 miles with Dan, Riley and Finn on a chilly morning in the neighborhood (mid 20's).   Did another 2.5 miles on the treadmill when I got back.  Riley is very gradually working up her weekly volume and not really running more than 2-3 miles per day so we compromised at 4 for her benefit and then I added the treadmill when we got done.

AM - in Philadelphia for business today, so I did a run from City Hall out past the "Rocky Steps" museum and down along the Schuylkill River and back.  Cold in the upper 20's but  not uncomfortable.
