PM - 5 miles easy on the golf course after an afternoon and morning of heavy rains.  Did some rowing and some walking too.

AM - just under 3 miles easy this morning before work.

 

Tracked my friends at Boston this morning.  Richie crushed it.  2:56 for a nearly 3 min PR.  Perfectly executed negative split.  Very impressive.  Happy for him.

PM - 8 miles on the treadmill at high aerobic pace.

AM - 3 miles easy before work.

PM - 7 miles at lunchtime.  Progression run - first mile was a warm up over 9 min mile. Gradually increased the pace  by 30-40 seconds per mile over a rather hilly route with the last mile at 6:30 pace.  Good run.

AM - 3 miles easy on the golf course this morning.  Chilly in the lower 40's.  Very peaceful run with the sun rising over the trees.

 

PM - 8 more mile after work.  Ran 7 in the next neighborhood and then came back and got my dog Finn for his first little run on the golf course.  He thoroughly enjoyed himself.

PM - ran 1.5 miles with Finn and then 8.5 on the treadmill while I watched a replay of the Penn Relays and then the Drake Relays.  I seem to run faster when I am watching a particularly competitive race while on the treadmill.
