AM - 4 miles very easy/slow in the neighborhood before church.  Good level of recovery effort following yesterday's long run. 

AM - 5 miles on the Milton Trail.   Solo again today as Dan is out of town with his mom - they have called hospice and he's staying with her.   

AM - 5 miles on the treadmill.  Had an early call today and was going to be solo anyway.  Some days now, I just feel like a treadmill run fits the bill. 

AM - 5 miles solo through WC to the Grove and back.  Felt slow and clunky today.

AM - 5 miles at Milton HS - progressive tempo effort.   Loops around the permeter of the parking lots and middle school - are just about a mile; and then I do a couple of laps on the middle school track.  Last two miles were at 7:20-ish pace.   Relatively hard work today. Pleased that I can still manage to run at this pace - and at the same time a little wistful that my tempo paces from 10 or 15 years ago will never been seen again.   

AM - 6 miles easy recovery effort through Wood Valley and North Bluff - I took the trail on the way back for the first time - which added a little distance.  

AM - 10 miles total.  Did a one mile warm up while waiting for the group, and then did 9 with them.  Turned out to be just 3 of us today and Allan who is doing Boston in a few weeks, had 18-20 miles on his plan.   Venu who just did the Atlanta marathon last week, was good for 9 or 10 so, we broke off when we made our way back near Summit Hill elementary.  Probably too quick on the pacing today especially on the uphills - but I managed it well enough.  Gonna need a couple of easy recovery days.
