AM - 5.25 very easy miles with Finn before church - not quite as humid today.  Legs were fatigued from yesterday's long run but in an expected not overly noticeable way.  

AM - 4.25 miles with Dan and Finn from Miton HS through Crabapple.  Light effort but not as slow as recovery.   I think for the weekday runs with Dan I will probably treat these as longer shakeout runs and do secondary runs with more specific workouts a few days of the week.  

PM - 4.00 on the treadmill as a tempo effort for the last 3 miles - which ended up being 7:30 - with the last half mile at 7:08 pace.  Solid. 

AM - 4.5 miles with Dan and Finn from Dan's house and up to the horsefarm trail roads.  Slow start, little bit sore, but ultimately felt reasonably good and could have gone longer and faster if Dan had been willing, but he was not.   Perhaps a shakeout later today after my workday is completed.  
 

PM - just under 3.5 miles after my workday on the trail.  

AM - 3.25 very easy relaxed miles with Dan and both dogs on the trail this morning.  Legs felt lots of fatigue and almost painful yesterday evening - so I considered not running at all - but actually just doing a morning shake jog and chatting was perfect.  

AM - a little over 4 miles this morning with Dan and Finn at the high school.  As we were finishing the third loop getting ready to start to the 4th mile, Finn just stopped and then turned back to where our vehicles were parked.  Following the advice of my vet to follow Finn's cues - we went back to where we parked and let Finn sit in the back of the truck and we did a few laps around the practice lacrosse field.  He seemed fine when we were done.  

PM - 4 more on the treadmill late afternoon - easy.

AM - 4 miles on the trail with Dan and the dogs.  Each of the dogs were filthy, particularly Rosie who as a lab cannot pass a body of water without jumping in - and the ponds on the trail are quite marshy and muddy on their banks.  So they each had to be cleaned up afterward.  Run was fine - I have sort of resigned myself that training performance is going to be very low key in this training cycle - some days my body will feel lots of energy and I will do a workout but then struggle with aches rccovering for a few days - So, I would much rather run easy consistent miles day after day than the former.  

PM - 3.5 miles on the treadmill late afternoon.

AM - long run this morning with the first 4 with Finn and then Dan met me at my house and Greg was an unexpected no-show.  We did a completely different route with a long climb - then got a text from Greg who got his signals crossed and ultimately met us for the last 2 miles.  Dan got his longest run of 9 miles that he's gotten in probably as many months.  Terribly humid and uncomfortable running conditions had me decide not to add any extra miles at the end as I did last week.
