PM - lunchtime run since it was rainy and cold when I awoke this morning and I did not feel like venturing out. 6 miles on the hilly and quick side - and sunny by then.

AM - 3.5 miles with Finn and Riley as the sun rose.   Had some interesting conversations about how the country is going to be dealing with "re-opening" - inasmuch as the Georgia governor announced yesterday that gyms, hair salons etc., were permitted to open on Friday and restaurants are permitted to open on Monday; whereas other parts of the country are extending their stay-at-home restrictions.   Some see the potential for openings and then re-closing if there are spikes in cases.   Strange times.

AM - 5 miles with Finn before starting my workday.  Streets were wet from yesterdays rains - and it was much more humid than it has been.   Left posterior hip was kinked a bit in the latter half of the run.  I am going to attribute that to having run on the treadmill yesterday for the first time in over a month.
