AM - 4 miles with the girls and Dan and Finn on Wood Road/Milton Trail.  There's a movie / filming crew at one of the horse farms - we noticed all of the vehicles last Thursday but it was not readily apparent that it was filming until today when we saw all of the signage and generators with the trucks and crews arriving this morning.   Atlanta has become such a hub for the movie industry over the last several years, but it is still kind of exciting to see so close to home.

AM - 5.75 miles with a full team - Riley, Delaney, Dan and Finn (at least for the first 4 miles) and then I dropped Finn at the house and Dan left us to get to an early meeting.  Ran through neighborhood and then the last 20 mins were on the trail.   My girls leave this morning to head back to their homes in the northeast.  Was really nice to have them here for a visit.  

PM - 4 more miles on the treadmill after my workday

AM - a little less than 3.5 miles with Dan and Finn at Milton HS.  Quite warm and very humid.  Finn stopped at a little over 3 miles and based on the instructions from his vet, that means he's done and it is time to end the run and so we headed back to the cars.   Will try to get a second run in later in the day on the treadmill.

AM - 12.25 or so miles this morning.   Began with 3 miles with Finn through the neighborhood, then dropped him back at the house as Dan arrived.  Ran another 7.5 miles with Dan and then another 1.5-2 miles on my own after he was finished.   Good long run effort in very steamy humid conditions.  Body felt as though this was not over-reaching or too intense.  Happy with the progress.
