| AM - 4 miles very easy/slow in the neighborhood before church. Good level of recovery effort following yesterday's long run.

| AM - 5 miles on the treadmill. Had an early call today and was going to be solo anyway. Some days now, I just feel like a treadmill run fits the bill.

| AM - 5 miles at Milton HS - progressive tempo effort. Loops around the permeter of the parking lots and middle school - are just about a mile; and then I do a couple of laps on the middle school track. Last two miles were at 7:20-ish pace. Relatively hard work today. Pleased that I can still manage to run at this pace - and at the same time a little wistful that my tempo paces from 10 or 15 years ago will never been seen again.

| AM - 6 miles easy recovery effort through Wood Valley and North Bluff - I took the trail on the way back for the first time - which added a little distance.

| AM - 10 miles total. Did a one mile warm up while waiting for the group, and then did 9 with them. Turned out to be just 3 of us today and Allan who is doing Boston in a few weeks, had 18-20 miles on his plan. Venu who just did the Atlanta marathon last week, was good for 9 or 10 so, we broke off when we made our way back near Summit Hill elementary. Probably too quick on the pacing today especially on the uphills - but I managed it well enough. Gonna need a couple of easy recovery days.

| AM - 4.25 miles with Dan on the Milton Trail. He returned yesterday evening from being with his mom in Connecticut last week. She's in hospice care, and was not expected to survive more than a day or two, but after a week of being home from the hospital, she continues to persevere. Spent much of the run just listening and trying to be helpful.

| AM - 5.25 miles with Dan on the trail. Pretty significant thunderstorm overnight, but now that the trail has gravel trails that are raised a bit, the drainage is good, and we really did not have any mud to contend with on the run.

| AM - 6 miles solo doing the route out Dinsmore through North Bluff and coming back on the trail. The gravel on the trail is causing me some achiness on the outside of my lower legs - stabilizing for the unevenness of the terrain. May stay off it for a few days.

| AM - slightly less than 4.25 miles with Dan at Milton HS - ran easy to his preference so that he'd feel good enough to run longer tomorrow with the group.

| AM - 6.5 miles with the guys from downtown. Expected everyone to go longer, but as we looped back to the cars no one was interested in extending the already easy run and instead we all went for coffee and hung out for 30 mins or so post run - which was also very nice.

| AM - got an early start before church, hoping to get a longer run in - but my body was not feeling it today and decided to end it just short of 9 miles. Nice weather the last few days, but my phone app says there's a freeze warning for tomorrow and the next day.
