AM - 5 miles easy to moderate before church...partly on trail.   Legs felt ok, but overall I was a bit fatigued - still ended up running reasonably well the last 3 miles. 

AM - 4.75 miles with Dan and Rosie on the trail.    A bit slower than usual for us, but that was fine as I really did not feel all that into it today.  Very warm and it is supposed to reach the upper 90's today.  

AM - 5.25 miles with Dan from his house out to the horsefarm trail roads.  Good conversation and good pace after the first mile.  

AM - 7 miles in NYC up the Hudson River path/trail toward the GW Bridge.  Heatwave in full force and over 80 degrees to start at 6:15 am.  Oddly though, I ran way faster than I had expected or planned to.   I noticed about a mile in, that I was passed by a couple of runners, and checked my watch expecting to see a slower pace when in fact I was running below 8:20.  For some unknown reason I continued with that effort attempting not to "lose" anyone who had gone by me and eventually those that passed me either stopped or made earlier turnarounds - leaving me with no one to "catch."   I maintained the pace after turning around at the 3.5 mile mark, and despite the increasing heartrate effort in the heat. finished with what looks like an intentional progression run at tempo effort (though short of tempo pace).   

AM - 6 miles going south on the Hudson Eiver path - again found myself running much faster than I should have for the conditions.   I blame it on the other runners and feeling pulled along by the faster paces. 

AM - 4.5 easy miles with Delaney from her apartment in Brooklyn.   My flight last night was cancelled and my morning flight also cancelled which gave me time to run with her and have breakfast.  Weather was cooler and drizzly with wind and low cloud cover.  The easy pace was just what I needed. 

AM - 7 miles with Dan and Darryl at an easy pace.
