AM - 1.5 miles with Finn before Church.

PM - Tracy and I took the dog down to the Alpharetta Greenway for a walk on the trail.  Walked a little over 2 miles and then I ran home from there and Tracy and Finn took the car home.  Right at 9 miles.  Windy but quite warm out today.  Felt a little fatigue in the legs today.

AM - 3 miles before work.

PM - 7 aerobic miles at lunchtime on the treadmill.  

PM - no morning run today - in favor of rest.  Did a workout at lunch which I was surprisingly pleased with.    3 x 2 miles at HM pace with 800 rest after a 2 mile warm up. Average pace per mile was between 6:31 and 6:35 on the treadmill.  Realistically, that pace is faster than I could hold for a HM at this point - but it felt like I could possibly hold it for 10k.  Seem to be having some good days with my workouts - probably because I am spacing them so far apart.

And then there's this from Steve Magness - Stretching is useles.  I rarely stretch before and only a little foam rolling after running.  http://www.scienceofrunning.com/2009/08/stretching-is-it-useless.html?m=1

AM - 3 miles very slow and easy in a light rain before work.

PM - 5.5 miles at lunch - cool and rainy - very slow moving today following yesterday's workout.

PM - 8.25 miles on the treadmill at lunchtime.

PM - 2 miles or so after work

AM - around 3 miles this morning before heading out on vacation in NC with the family. 

PM - after a nice drive to the mountains in North Carilina - I went exploring on some trails near the cabin we are renting for the week.  Really very pretty trails along a creek near Lake Toxaway and Gorges State Park. Guessing about 5-6 miles maybe more.  

AM - easy 2 miles with Finn around the neighborhood of the cabin before the family got up this morning.  Cooked up some bacon and made pancakes ahead of a day of hiking and canoeing. 

PM - after a 2 mile hike in the morning with the family and an excursion to the Ingles for groceries - Riley and I did a run on some trails in Gorges State Park.  Quite hilly and rocky. Riley was gassed on the climbs and so we wrapped it up early in time to get back to watch the Kentucky Derby.
