PM - 8 miles with Finn midday - warmer than Finn was prepared to handle - cut it short to get him some water and shade.

AM - 7.5 miles with Greg for part of the run on the Greenway.  We got our signals crossed and he had started earlier; but we connected and ran about 4 miles together.   I would have gone longer but Finn basically shut it down a few hundred yards past the turn to the parking lot and refused to go anywhere but back to the car.   Either he was thirsty or not into the fast pace or got spooked about something ahead.   So I went with his guidance and finished earlier than planned.
