PM - lunchtime - I got out for a midday run on a very pleasant sunny day in Alpharetta.  The Big Creek Greenway trail which had been submerged from heavy rains over the weekend and closed - was re-opened today for use.  I ran under the canopy shade of trees on the trail which had been relatively sparse the last time I ran on it during the day.  But now the trail is densely shaded with the trees having the full complement of their leaves now that summer is nearly here. I probably ran a bit faster than easy pace - as I was trying to get in as many miles as I could in the short period of time I felt I had during lunch - so 8 miles in just under an hour.

AM - 8 very easy miles this morning in Alpharetta.  Found yet another pleasant route on a country road.  Light and easy today.

PM - busy day at work and my eldest daughter's birthday - so I squeezed in 6 miles on the treadmill late in the day before dinner with the family and movies - Great Gatsby - not bad.

AM - thought about doing a race this morning - but it's was very warm and humid - so I opted for an easy 9 miles. Good decision as the weather made for a miserable run.
