AM - a little over 5 miles solo this morning through up the trail through wood valley and east bluff.  Still getting memories of running or doing things with Finn - certain routes that he'd prefer or just things that he'd do that are pleasant reminders of the time we got to spend with each other.

AM - just under 5.25 miles with Dan from his place this morning.   First mile as always was slow and uncomfortable, but after I got more warmed up most of the miles were comfortably in the 8:45 range.   Very warm and humid as you would expect this time of year.

AM - 4.5 miles with Dan through WC and the golf course.  We ran in the reverse direction of our normal route on the course, which as it turns out felt significantly more difficult with seemingly more hills than in the usually direction.

AM - 10 miles with Greg and Darryl from the Starbucks at Bethany Bend through Deerfield and up to Avalon and back through town.  We ran at a good pace but not too hard in the heat and humidity.
