PM - 8.5 miles on the treadmill- too warm and humid to want to run outside today.

AM - morning shakeout with Finn.   His first run in nearly 2 weeks.  The vet cleared him of canine dysplasia or any other possible major concern.   He likely just had a muscle sprain and was very vocal about his discomfort.   He was very happy that he was permitted to go out today.  I took it easy and short to be cautious.

AM - 3.5 miles with Finn - easing him back into running.  Super humid and heavy air with a light mist/rain - remnants from the tropical storm in the gulf - which has made for some really uncomfortable dew points in the low 70's the last 3-4 days.   Supposed to clear out tomorrow and be considerably drier tomorrow.

AM - a little be short of 5.5 miles with Finn this morning.  Dew point dropped about 8-10 degrees and though still wet/damp, it was signficantly more comfortable to run this morning with less humidity.   Don't know how I endured the seemingly endless days in Florida with that type of climate.

AM - 4 mile bike ride with Riley

PM - 6 miles with Riley and Finn late afternoon.  She had a little difficulty in the last mile or two- but it was hot and the route was hilly.
