| PM - 8.5 miles today around the streets of Amsterdam - and then also in the park. Felt off today - jet lagged/did not sleep well over night. Heading home tomorrow.

| PM - 10 miles with Riley and Finn on the Alpharetta Greenway - Longest ever run for my dog - who lead the whole way and showed no signs of fatigue or slowing. And we averaged right around 9 mins per mile - so Riley is showing really good improvement.
Not too many things I can think of that I could enjoy more than spending a fall afternoon on a nice run with my daughter and my dog.

| PM - 4 miles at lunchtime - recovery run. Interesting - I don't normally wear a watch on recovery runs - but I did today out of curiosity. My perceived effort felt reasonably even but the splits were not. I only ran to a point at which I felt like I was "pushing". First mile 10:48, second 9:41, third 8:33, fourth 8:04. Crazy.
Riley ran a 5k time trial yesterday at my request - to gauge her fitness before running NYC in less than 3 weeks. 23:21 was her time. I will be running with her and her boyfriend to "pace" them in their first marathon. Feeling encouraged that it appears less likely that I will be out on the race course with them for over 4.5 to 5 hours as once was predicted.

| AM - just a shade under 16 miles with Riley this morning. Hilly course - but much cooler and windier this week. She continues to show improvement in strength/endurance.

| AM - early start to the day - did a couple of faster (MP) miles on the UF Gators track after a warm up from the hotel - and then a cool down back. Lots of folks out at 6 am in and around the track. Looked like the mens and women's soccer team; several platoons of ROTC folks running outside the track full-throatedly singing in cadence and a smattering of small running groups and a couple of old guys like me.

| AM - easy 5 miles this morning around the UF campus - made a pit stop in the stadium which I was surprised to find was open at 6:30 am - along with the bathrooms.
