| AM - 4 miles on the trail with Dan and the dogs - quite muddy from the rains yesterday - and I took a digger near the end coming down a hill in the woods. No real harm done. Need to get another run in later today...too many easy short runs with friends the last several days.
PM - treadmill workout - 6 x 800 at 3:20 pace with full recovery. Good workout effort - felt solid. HR drift by the last two up close to threshold at 156-157 but overall in good range. Nothing hurt and I was not on the limit.

| AM - 4 miles very easy. Heavy legs from yesterday's workout - and it was warm and so much pollen!!!

| AM - run with Dan and Finn from Milton HS through Crabapple. Legs were still heavy from Tuesday's workout and wanted to do something flat. After the first mile or two, legs felt a little more normal - and this was by far the longest and uninterrupted run for Dan with his hamstring recovery.

| AM - 5 miles from Dan's house with the dogs. Rosie had frequent stops because perhaps of how warm it was today - lots of pollen too. Legs felt a little heavy even after 3 days! Good conversation and Dan's hamstring issue seems to have nearly resolved.

| AM - 12 miles with Greg on the Greenway. Expected a couple more to join based on the text string last night, but it was just the two of us, which with Greg translates to a much faster pace than with a larger group. Most miles were sub 8 after the first one. Warm but not uncomfortable - lots of pollen to inhale. Solid tempo like effort.

| AM - 5k with Dan and Finn in the neighborhood. I had an early dentist appointment- so did not have time to get any additional miles in. Good to catch up with him after he was out of town over the weekend on a college visit trip with his son in Virginia.

| AM - 5.25 miles with Finn in the neighborhood. Cold front pushed through with rain all day yesterday, and it was 20 degrees cooler this morning than yesterday morning. Up late last night watching the Gators win their 3rd National Championship in basketball.

| AM - 5.25 miles with Finn starting on the trail and out to Wood Valley and Thompson. Stayed off Freemanville traffic going up the trail is a good option.

| AM - 3 miles on the trail with Dan and the dogs. He just returned from vacation in Dominican Republic and we had some time to catch up. The trail construction work and the heavy rains over the last couple of days made for a muddy and short mess of a run.

| AM - 5 miles from my hotel on Miami Beach south on A1A and then looping back on the "boardwalk" along the beach which is really a very nice path of pavers. Warmer and more humid, but the sea breeze from the Ocean made this really pleasant.

| AM - 5 miles on Miami Beach from my hotel going north this time on the boardwalk and doing a turnaround on the same. Ran way too hard for the work stress I have been under. HR was at a tempo effort - but my pace was meh.

| AM - 5 miles on the same route as Tuesday heading south on A1A on Miami Bch. Much less effort today, very low energy - tried to keep my HR in the zone 2 range.

| AM 4.25 miles with Dan and the dogs from his house this morning. Rosie was very slow which was actually good for me, to keep my effort modest and aerobic.

| AM - 10 miles with the guys from Summit Elementary. Slightly slower than my usual pace with Greg for the first half and then normal Greg pace for the second half. Finn ran the first half and then when Dan peeled off he agreed to take him back to my truck where he waited until I finished.

| AM - 4.5 miles with Dan and Finn from Milton HS and through Crabapple. Talked about our friends who were doing Boston today - felt a little FOMO. Tracked them all and each had very good runs today - Ben in particular went sub-3 hours at 2:56 and Allan ran 3:19. Kacy ran 3:11 and Karen ran 3:18. Nice seeing Conner Mantz run a really strong race today too.

| AM - 5.25 miles with Finn through the East Bluff and up to the top of Dinsmore. Slow start but gradually got up to a good pace. Finn seemed to be a little off this morning at times running in parallel or slightly behind me - though he was super stoked to run when we got up this morning. As with the last two mornings, I have done some indoor rowing as a part of additional fitness along with yoga and strengthening exercises.

| AM - 3.5 miles with Dan and the dogs on the trail which was pretty muddy from the rains over the last few days - so we stayed on the back nine - and looped around the lake over a couple of new bridges which are nearly completed. He had an early doctor appointment and had to cut things short today.

| AM - 5 miles with Dan and Finn through the neighborhood quite early as I had a meeting in the office. Slow start as always, but finished strong. Finn has been lagging a little bit in the last couple of runs where he's more to the side of me instead of his normal up front.

| AM - 7.5 miles with Dan and Darryl on an improvised and very hilly route - we opted not to go with Greg on the Forsyth trail where we end up with a tempo effort. This was more relaxed and sub-tempo and sub-long run distance. Good conversation.

| AM - 4.5 miles with Finn before church up to Birmingham Rd and past the little Publix. Less traffic on Sunday morning made this possible. Decent pace for a change following a Saturday run of late.

| AM - 4.5 miles on the trail with Dan and the dogs. Trail construction is proceeding and in some areas they have footbridges nearly completed across the ponds and some newly created creeks.

| AM - just about 5.25 miles with Dan and Finn from my house up the trail to Dinsmore and the East Bluff neighborhood and back. Hilly but solid effort by all. Finn seems to be back to running well with no gimpiness in his front paw...unfortunately later this morning he had another seizure...he's having these breakthrough seizures every few weeks despite medication from the vet.
