AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and the dogs on another rainy morning.   Pretty signficant electrical storms came through overnight, but by the time we ran, it was just light rain.

AM - 6.5 miles with Dan and the dogs on yet another rainy morning - 3 days in a row.   Much heavier rainfall at times today - we ran along the cart paths on the golf course because the grass is too saturated and slippery in places - but even the cart paths had some ankle-depth standing water.  Slow slog.

Noon - ran with Finn along the Alpharetta Greenway - started on Windward to explore the latest construction of the trail to ultimately connect it with the Forsyth trail.   They still have some work to do - but they were actually doing quite a bit of work even today.  Ran very even splits - just about 7:45 pace each mile - the whole way from start to finish - the trail is nearly flat so there were no significant hills to influence the pace except at the end.   I should have been pleased with the run, but the weather was overcast and cold and I was not feeling all that great for some reason - so the last few miles were more of a grind than usual.
