AM - 11.25 miles with Finn for the first 3 or so - and then brought him home.  Went back out and met Dan for the remainder.   Terrible run.  HR blew-up several times on climbs and I got nervous and walked a bit.  Shoes were completely soaked with sweat.

AM - 4 easy miles with Dan and the dogs.   Felt nearly normal today - must have been dehydrated combined with the high humidity and temps with the fast uphill pace at times, that just put me on the limit for some reason.   Always a concern in the back of my mind that it is not just a normal "bad" run, but something more significant regarding my coronary artery disease.   Will consider medical examination/intervention if it becomes a pattern or trend of course.

AM - 5.25 miles with Finn before my workday started.  Humid but not as oppressive as last week - and really this summer was not very hot and humid as some summers here.  Can almost feel things starting to get into the early feel of Fall.
