AM - 6 miles with Finn on a cloudy muggy morning.  Saw Dan walking his new dog; he says his knee is doing well and expects to be back running in 2-3 weeks.

AM - 6 miles with Finn before starting work this morning.   Took about 2.5 miles to warm into training pace - ran a good bit faster than yesterday in the last couple of miles - though on a different route.   Getting humid again with higher dew points - today was 67. It is not too hot - but I really prefer drier conditions.

I see that NYC marathon is now cancelled for this year.   One by one they are canceling due to the pandemic.  I think Chicago and Marine Corps are still scheduled in the US.   London and Paris rescheduled from the Spring for late Sept early Oct; I'd be surprised if all of these did not cancel.  
 

PM - 3 more miles on the treadmill at the end of the day.

AM - 3 easy miles with Finn - I think the last 2 days wore him out a little bit.   Also, my plantar fasciitis was quite sore this morning.

PM - 5 miles on the treadmill this afternoon.  Bad storm came through - knocked down some major tree limbs.  Will keep me busy cleaning up tomorrow.
