PM - long run.  Not great.  First 7 with Finn.  Got caught in the rain - dropped him off and did another 8.  Humid and thick air.

AM - 4 miles with Finn before work this morning.  Hoping for some time later in the day for a second run, but not looking likely.

AM - 4.25 miles with Finn before work.

PM - lunchtime treadmill workout - Yasso's.  10 x 800 @ ~2:49 avg pace - 400 rest.  Warm up and cool down. Felt really solid on this one.

AM - a little less than 4.25 miles with Finn on the packed dirt/gravel roads of Brittle and Summit as the sun rose past the horse farms and pastures with deer and rabbits.  Needed to keep this easy and slow as the legs were feeling yesterdays workout.  Yoga afterwards.

PM - 5 miles on the treadmill late.  Had house guests that kept me from running early and then I got busy with yard work and repairs.
