PM - 5 quick miles on the treadmill late - I was really tired today - nearly decided not to run, but rallied after dinner and avoided a zero.

AM - 5 miles with Finn this morning.  Not a great run - Finn stopped short to sniff something, which nearly caused me to trip over him, and less than 2 seconds later I turned my ankle in a hole - which fortunately was not as severe as it initially felt.  But, it was a crisp fresh morning and I was pleased to get the run in all the same.

AM - 7 miles with Finn this morning before starting work.  My runs the last couple of days seemed to be too strained - think I jumped into a training pace before getting my body warmed up.  Started off a little more slowly than the last few days before gradually working up to my normal training pace, which seems to have resulted in a more enjoyable, less strained effort.

AM - 6.25 miles with Finn - partly on the golf course at White Columns and then reversed a route I normally run through the gated part of that community - the hills were less severe this direction.

AM - a little over 4 miles this morning after I got the email from the Atlanta Track Club that they were postponing Peachtree from July 4 to Thanksgiving Day.  Nothing on my race calendar for the immediate future until September now.  
 

PM - 3 more miles with Riley at the end of my workday.
