AM - 4.25 miles with Dan and the dogs early before church on Nix.  Rosie and Dan were slower paced today, which was fine after the longer effort yesterday.

AM- just under 5.5 miles with Finn through the neighborhood and across Birmingham Hwy into the Grove neighborhood.  Last 3.5 miles were faster and HR was correspondingly higher.  2100 meters of indoor rowing and a short yoga sesstion afterwards.

AM - 5 miles with Finn in the neighborhood after a thunderstorm.   Achilles was frustratingly more painful today despite it appearing less swollen.

AM - 4.5 slow easy miles with Dan and the dogs from his house.  His hamstring was hurting so we went slowly and tried to keep the run as flat as possible.   Seemed to work well for him.  I wore the Rides for the first time in a while as I think the Achilles is making progress with the Afredson protocol strengthening exercises - despite the pain on yesterdays run - today felt less painful and I think I may be able to switch back to my normal trainers.

AM - 4.75 miles with Dan on the Milton trail - slightly faster than yesterday but still on the slowish side due to his hamstring discomfort.

AM - 3.25 miles with Riley who is in town for my eldest's baby shower this weekend and then another 2 miles on the treadmill to get some more miles in.  She's been running fairly consistently, but not usually more than 2.5 miles per run for a few months.  Always good to have a run with your kids.
