| AM - 11.25 miles with Finn for the first 3 or so - and then brought him home. Went back out and met Dan for the remainder. Terrible run. HR blew-up several times on climbs and I got nervous and walked a bit. Shoes were completely soaked with sweat.

| AM - 4 easy miles with Dan and the dogs. Felt nearly normal today - must have been dehydrated combined with the high humidity and temps with the fast uphill pace at times, that just put me on the limit for some reason. Always a concern in the back of my mind that it is not just a normal "bad" run, but something more significant regarding my coronary artery disease. Will consider medical examination/intervention if it becomes a pattern or trend of course.

| AM - 5.25 miles with Finn before my workday started. Humid but not as oppressive as last week - and really this summer was not very hot and humid as some summers here. Can almost feel things starting to get into the early feel of Fall.

| AM - total of 12.25 miles. Started outside with Finn for around 5 miles to give him some exercise- and then brought him home - but t switched it up by hopping on the treadmill for another hour or so.

| AM - 6 miles with Dan and the dogs through Wood Valley and made our way across the former Milton Country Club into my backyard. The deconstruction of the golf course to return it to a passive greenspace park is finally underway - all of the concrete cart paths have been removed - with piles of concrete still left to be hauled away. Should be a matter of months and then it will be reopened to the public for use as a running and walking path of natural packed dirt/clay and decomposed granite.

| AM - 4.5 miles quite early with Dan and the dogs - I had an early meeting in the office and needed to get the run finished up early. Felt strange discomfort at the beginning of the run - but HR was not high or anything. May get scheduled for a check up with the cardiologist since this has been happening a couple of times in the last few weeks.

| AM - 7 miles with Finn on a particularly humid amd warm morning. Probably went out too late. Did not feel all that great and had some issues in the first mile until I got rolling.

| AM - 14 miles with Greg on the Alpharetta Greenway before sunrise. Whenever I run with him - it ends up being much faster than if I ran solo particularly on long runs. I think we averaged under 8 min miles for the first 10 until t declared that my HR was much closer to a tempo effort in the warm extreme humidity than a long run pace. But perhaps this is a good training approach - we shall see.

| AM - 5.5 miles with Finn in the dark during a driving rain from Tropical Storm Fred - reminded me of running in the sometime heavy summertime rains in Florida during cross country practice when I was in high school. We would sometimes go to the golf course and slide on our bellies on the wet downslopes of the fairways. Landsurfing.
PM - 3 miles on the treadmill after my workday ended

| AM - 10 miles in Hawaii- ran past Diamond Head - with a vague plan to run between 10 and 14 miles - but thanks to some very humid sticky conditions and barely got in 10. Really tough push to get the last few miles in.

| AM - decided to go back up the hillside and found round top road with a series of switchbacks to the top. Really enjoyed the scenery and even got a rainbow from a shower looking back down on the city and the ocean.
