| PM - lunchtime - 5 miles on the treadmill.
I am doing this thing that the Atlanta Track Club suggested for Global Running Day which is tomorrow. Run a mile every hour for 24 hours. Starting tonight at midnight. See if I can do it, just to do something.

| AM - from midnight to 11 am - 1 mile every hour on the hour. Halfway finished with the challenge for Global Running Day. I have to say the middle of the night was a bit harder than I expected. The running part is easy, but it took me on average about 15-20 mins to wake up, put my shoes and shorts on, do the mile run, change clothes and then get back into bed; and then at least 10 mins or longer to relax enough to fall back to sleep. So sleeping in 30 min increments was the hard part.
It is really warm and humid today, so I have moved to the treadmill where it is cooler and if I need to take a phone call for work, I am easily able to do it.
PM - from noon to 11 pm. Finished it. 12 more miles. This was a bit harder than I thought it would be. Pleased that I did it, and the quarantine really made it possible to be able to do it. Not something I would want to do again. Going to bed now. :)

| AM - morning shakeout with Finn. His first run in nearly 2 weeks. The vet cleared him of canine dysplasia or any other possible major concern. He likely just had a muscle sprain and was very vocal about his discomfort. He was very happy that he was permitted to go out today. I took it easy and short to be cautious.

| AM - 3.5 miles with Finn - easing him back into running. Super humid and heavy air with a light mist/rain - remnants from the tropical storm in the gulf - which has made for some really uncomfortable dew points in the low 70's the last 3-4 days. Supposed to clear out tomorrow and be considerably drier tomorrow.

| AM - a little be short of 5.5 miles with Finn this morning. Dew point dropped about 8-10 degrees and though still wet/damp, it was signficantly more comfortable to run this morning with less humidity. Don't know how I endured the seemingly endless days in Florida with that type of climate.

| AM - 4 mile bike ride with Riley
PM - 6 miles with Riley and Finn late afternoon. She had a little difficulty in the last mile or two- but it was hot and the route was hilly.

| PM - 11.25 miles on the Forsyth Greenway in the middle of the afternoon. Low to mid 80's - bit of a grinder of a run.

| AM - 5.25 miles with Finn this morning - still cool outside. Bumped into Dan in his neighborhood as he was driving into his office (my office still is not open but his company has returned to work now for nearly 3 weeks). His meniscus surgery on his knee went well - he's got a few weeks before he will resume running.

| AM - 6 miles with Finn - cloudy and a bit warmer and more seasonably humid this morning. Took me until the 3rd mile today to start running my normal training pace.

| AM - 3 miles with Finn on the Milton Trail - very easy effort. Wore the Vibrams for the first time in quite a while as a possible solution for an increasingly noticeable plantar fasciitis issue. When I have had it in the past, sometimes running in those and alternating with different drops on shoes helped to alleviate the problem. I did another mile on the treadmill after work.

| AM - 12.5 miles on the bike - first time in quite a while that I ventured out on the road bike for a ride. Enjoyed it. So, now of course I have found lots of things I want to change/add to my set up.
PM - 5.5 miles with Riley and Finn on the Alpharetta Greenway late afternoon.

| AM - 6 miles with Finn before starting work this morning. Took about 2.5 miles to warm into training pace - ran a good bit faster than yesterday in the last couple of miles - though on a different route. Getting humid again with higher dew points - today was 67. It is not too hot - but I really prefer drier conditions.
I see that NYC marathon is now cancelled for this year. One by one they are canceling due to the pandemic. I think Chicago and Marine Corps are still scheduled in the US. London and Paris rescheduled from the Spring for late Sept early Oct; I'd be surprised if all of these did not cancel.
PM - 3 more miles on the treadmill at the end of the day.

| AM - 3 easy miles with Finn - I think the last 2 days wore him out a little bit. Also, my plantar fasciitis was quite sore this morning.

| AM - a little over 4 miles with Finn near the Home Depot as I needed some equipment for yard work later. Relatively flat area - may think about driving there to change things up from all the hills near my house now and then.
