AM - 4.25 miles easy with Finn before church.

AM - 5.75 miles with Finn through the neighborhood and across to the Groves and back.  Somewhat faster than yesterday's effort but still easy overall. 

AM - progression run work out at Milton HS.  5 min warm up - then 20 mins at moderate/easy pace and then 10 mins at 6:30 to 6:49 pace and a 5 min cool down.   Raining and a bit humid this morning.   Was not reallying "feeling" it today in the early part of the run - though my pace was good.   The workout part started slowish, but ended with the last half at slightly faster than 6:30 pace.   I think I have done this workout at least 3 times now as a part of the Garmin Coach training - and though I think it is a decent workout, I am a little bored with the repetition.  

AM - 5 miles on the trail with Finn - recovery effort - very slow and felt weaker than I should.  Overall not a very good run today.   The maintenance work on the trail had the grass mowed short on the north end with a nice path.  

AM - speed intervals - 15 min warm up; 6 x 1 min at 6:45 pace and 1 min rest; then 6 x 30 seconds at 5:45 pace with a 1 min rest; 15 min cool down.   Did this in the neighborhood on a hilly route - which really was not condusive to hitting the paces - uphills were slow and downhills too fast and the effort was therefore not consistent.  Really a tough run for me today - I had been messing with a lectin-free diet to support my wife who is doing it. but it really limits the intake of what are normal sources of carbohydrates for me - and as a result I felt like the tinman needing some oil and without any stamina.   I think I will need to modify it so that I can continue to train.
