Warmed up 3 miles and then a 3 mile tempo. Canal road was wet and we averaged 6:00/mile at a pretty hard effort.

Just over 5 stroller miles with Whitney after lunch over to the park.

6.25 miles in the evening. Felt amazing today, less effort than walking. I'm really enjoying this November weather, 40 degrees is kind of perfect for easy runs.

Ran while my dad biked. Got some good uphill running and some downhill tempo. Quads felt a bit tired after the first couple miles but felt better by the end.

Went back out just before lunch and reclaimed a segment record going up a .21 mile 9% grade hill. I ran it at 5:12 pace which is a grade adjusted pace of 3:37. Not bad!
