| PM - easy 4.25 with Riley on a really nice Mother's Day afternoon. The girls and I made a brunch and though it was 37 degree when we awoke, by the time we had our meal at around 12:30 it had warmed to the upper 60's. My eldest had her birthday today as well, so we transitioned to a birthday celebration in the evening with just the family of course; Delaney prepared a really tastey french main course and I baked some homemade bread.

| AM - cool 6 miles on the reverse Dinsmore / North Valley loop.
Got a notification on Strava yesteday that I had been "dethroned" of my course record for a segment I did dating back to 2012. I had to look it up on this blog to know what I had done that day. It was in Moundsville WV July 2012. My second run of the day, that was an unplanned progression run on a trail that goes around the perimeter of some ball fields. This was the summer I had been running 100 mile weeks. Evidently I felt good and started running some quick miles on this 1.25 mile loop to where the last mile was 6:08.
I was not aware that I had the segment record, nor do I really care; but it took 8 years?? for someone on Strava to run faster than me. Strange. Also, slightly depressing that at my age I will likely not see an impromptu progression run at that pace or quality again - nor the same volume of miles I was logging at the time. At the same time, kinda cool to look back at things from time to time. The guy who beat my record turns out to be the nextdoor neighbor of one of my nieces on Tracy's side of the family.

| AM - 5.25 miles with Finn. Ran into Dan who was out for a walk (doing a conference call) as he's been struggling with a knee injury and hasn't been able to run. He finally got an MRI confirmation of a torn meniscus and is getting scheduled for surgery.

| AM - 5k with Riley and Finn. Took it very slow as Riley has an ingrown toenail infection - we cut it short as she was in a lot of discomfort. Has a teledoc appointment this afternoon.
PM - 4 more miles on the treadmill.

| PM - 8 miles with Finn on the Forsyth greenway. Turned into a bit of a progression run with the last 4 miles on the faster side. Would have gone longer but it was in the 80's and Finn was starting to show signs that the heat was getting to him.
