PM - 3.5 miles at lunchtime on the treadmill.  Had limited time, and was feeling a little fatigued - so a shorter run was in order.

PM - 5.25 miles on the Alpharetta Greenway late afternoon- shaded but very warm out in the 90’s.  Recovery effort.

PM - ran with Riley on the Alpharetta Greenway after 5 pm to attempt to escape the high temps and to find some shade.  The dew point was over 75 and very uncomfortable.  Riley got in a little over 8 miles and I did a couple more after she turned around.  Not really very enjoyable running conditions.
