AM - easy 6 miles this morning before work.  Sent two of my girls and Tracy off on a road trip beforehand as they head to West Virginia for their annual family reunion.  I will join them by flight on Saturday as I meet Delaney in Charlotte on a connection from her distance running camp.  So, this means two days of free running for me - likely to end up with more miles today and tomorrow than normal.

PM - 6 more at lunchtime outside around the lakes in the Carillon Office Park. 

PM - drove down to Clearwater Beach after work and ran north all the way to Hurricane Pass at the north end of Caledesi Island.  There is no longer any channel at Dunedin Pass - so no water crossing to Caledesi.  I had a very relaxed peaceful run with only the occasional beachcomer for most of the run just before sunset.  Right at 10 miles.  Really enjoyed much of this - although at low tide, the beach was wide but a little on the soft side so the pace was a bit slow.    Perhaps a bit too much running in one day as I was very dehydrated at the end.
