| AM - 8 miles in NYC along the west side on the Hudson River /Empire State Trail. Quite warm and sticky even before sunrise. Pace was really slow to keep the HR in check as a result. Decent mileage though. Here for business only until late this afternoon.

| AM - met Dan at Wood Road/Milton Trail - which is now about equidistant from his new house and mine. The trail is not quite long enough for 5 miles when out and back - so we had to double up a bit.

| AM - 9.25 miles with Finn - we arrived early downtown and did 3 miles before Dan and Greg arrived and did about a 10k with them. Very humid but I am feeling like I am making some progress with the HR training.

| AM - 5 miles with Dan and Finn from Dan's new house which is close to the horsetrail roads - and so that where we ran.
PM - 2 miles on the treadmill - testing out some ideas around HR. Seems like it is more managable on the 'mill rather than outdoors this time of year.

| AM - 4.75 miles with Dan and Finn in his old neighborhood and some on the golf course. Kept the pace slow to maintain an aerobic HR - he was ok with the slower effort.
PM - 3.25 miles at lunchtime on the treadmill - avg'd between 8:15 and 8:30 pace at mid 120's HR which is much better than it is outside currently with humidity and heat.

| AM - 4.5 miles with Dan and the dogs on the Milton trail. He had to head into the office early so we cut it short just a bit.
PM - late afternoon 2.5 miles on the treadmill. HR seems to be settling back down in the normal range - will continue to work aerobic miles with increased volume for a while longer.

| AM - 7.25 miles with Dan and Finn from Dan's house up Summit and Wood road. Same route as last Saturday - without really trying, the pace was faster by 15 seconds per mile, and the avg HR was exactly the same - and the other variables impacting HR (weather and time of day, nutrition) were almost identical.
PM - 2 easy miles on the treadmill to add some volume and work on base fitness

| AM - 4 miles with Dan and Finn in the neighborhood in a light rain/mist. He had to make it short due to some early appointments.
PM - 4 miles on the treadmill late afternoon; after a mile warm-up - I ran at around 7:30 pace - roughly a goal marathon pace for now. Kept the HR in checck; it only crept to the low to mid 140's in the last mile.

| AM - 8.25 miles from my brother in law's house in Virginia. He lives in a golf course community away from the beach and the surrounding area is agricultural with a few new subdivisions here and there. I found one last time I was here with a big lake and a walking path - so that's where I ran again today. Decent run. Day 900 of my running streak.

| AM - 6 miles with Finn on the horsetrail roads in the dark and in the rain. Good run with perhaps a bit higher effort in the last miles than necessary, but sometimes feeling a little more strength as a result of training makes you want to test things out a bit. Happy with the progress over the last several weeks. We were pretty much covered in grit/mud from the wet dirt roads when we finished.

| AM - 5.75 with Dan and Finn. We started on the trail behind my house, but when we got to the area where we normally venture off-trail, the grass/weeds were nearly waist-high and it was dark and wet - so we stayed on the trail, short as it is, and then went back out to his old neighborhood for a few more miles.

| AM - 2 runs this morning- met Dan and ran with the dogs from his house at 6 am as he was going to travel to Athens for his son's HS cross-country meet. Then, right after finishing 5 miles with him; Greg texted us wanting to run - so I brought Finn back to the house and then met him for another 6 miles - much faster pace of course.

PM - after work - treadmill tempo - short. 1 mile warm up then 3 miles at tempo with a gradual progression down from 7:25 pace to 6:48 pace per mile. Did reasonably well - not having run that many fast miles since the Peachtree race on July 4.
