AM - 5.75 miles with Finn through North Valleyin reverse. Hit the Dinsmore - Chicken Creek segment the fastest that I have run it in 3 years.   Still some pain / discomfort in the Achilles but perhaps slightly less as it slowly strengthens.

AM - 3 miles with Finn in the rain with a few lightning strikes that were probably too close.  The weather called for rain and storms all day, but it appeared that there was a window or break in the storms on the radar when we went out - decided to head back in after that turned out not to be the case.
