PM - tempo workout on the treadmill.  2 mile warm up - then using the auto HR target feature - I went for 24 mins at 80% of my HRR - which worked out to be marathon pace more or less.  Some times it was 6:40 and sometimes 6:58 - but always in that range from start to finish.  Quite pleased with how I felt. Solid and controlled.  Using that feature on the treadmill keeps the guesswork out of knowing the right pace for the tempo effect.

PM - long stressful day at work which started  early - so only time for one run today - decent 8 miles easy on the treadmill after work.

AM - about 4 miles very slow on the golf course this morning with Finn.  Days are beginning to get shorter.  It was still dark when we started and the sun was not quite risen when we finished.   Finn was off lead, and probably ran 2-3 miles longer than me - lots of exploring to be done in the wet grass, sand traps and woods.  

PM - 7.5 miles on the treadmill after work.

AM  - 10.5 miles this morning.  Had planned to just run west on Santa Monica from BH to the pier - but after I got going, I realized that it would be more like a 13-14 mile run, and I did not have enough time to make all the way to the pier and back - so I just turned around.  Cooler temps were nice.

Super early travel today and then came home to hot house and had to deal with AC repairs - so no running happened.
