AM - easy 4 miles before work - body seems to be adapting now to the volume - not as slow or achy as I was a few weeks ago on the morning runs.

PM - limited time at lunch for a longer run - so just 4 miles on the treadmill with a plan/hope for another run later this evening.

PM - 3rd run of the day - just under 10 miles in the evening after work and a soccer meeting for Delaney's team.

PM - 12 miles after work.  Ran out Curlew out the causeway to Honeymoon Island and back along the Pinellas Trail.  Had the good fortune of some rain clouds blocking the sun, but not actually raining.

PM - 16 miles easy.  I had wanted to get up early and do this run before dawn, but I went back to sleep after my alarm went off and instead slept in and made pancakes and read on the back porch with Tracy.  At that point it I had to decide whether to run on the treadmill, wait until the evening or brave the midday heat.  I chose the latter since I just ran yesterday on the 'mill and I couldn't see myself going for two hours on it again.  I also wanted to go down to the beach this evening and relax so - I decided to run at noon along the Pinellas Trail to the Hammock Park - and take advantage of the shade and water fountains nearby -  It is about 5 miles down to the Park - and so I did a bunch of loops on the trails in the Hammock - which used to be much less marked when I used to run it with Rob and the cross country team back in the day.  GPS had some challenges with the heavy tree cover so 16 is a rough estimate.  Plenty of water and a relaxed pace made the run much less difficult than it could have been.
