AM - 3 miles on the trail with Dan and the dogs. He just returned from vacation in Dominican Republic and we had some time to catch up.  The trail construction work and the heavy rains over the last couple of days made for a muddy and short mess of a run.

AM - 5 miles from my hotel on Miami Beach south on A1A and then looping back on the "boardwalk" along the beach which is really a very nice path of pavers.   Warmer and more humid, but the sea breeze from the Ocean made this really pleasant.

AM - 5 miles on Miami Beach from my hotel going north this time on the boardwalk and doing a turnaround on the same.  Ran way too hard for the work stress I have been under.   HR was at a tempo effort - but my pace was meh.

AM - 5 miles on the same route as Tuesday heading south on A1A on Miami Bch.  Much less effort today, very low energy - tried to keep my HR in the zone 2 range.

AM 4.25 miles with Dan and the dogs from his house this morning.   Rosie was very slow which was actually good for me, to keep my effort modest and aerobic.

AM - 10 miles with the guys from Summit Elementary.  Slightly slower than my usual pace with Greg for the first half and then normal Greg pace for the second half.  Finn ran the first half and then when Dan peeled off he agreed to take him back to my truck where he waited until I finished.
