AM - 4.25 easy recovery miles before church. 

AM - 5 miles on the treadmill because I did not feel like running in the rain this morning.   First mile was slow and clunky, but ended up running reasonably well the rest of the workout. 

AM - 5 miles from the trail to the clubhouse and then Wood Valley through east bluff into North Valley and back down on Dinsmore.  Quite heavy humid air with lots of rain from yesterday.   Decent effort in the last couple of miles.  Pace was good but I did not feel like I had a whole lot of depth of energy but would like to get to a point where it is there.  

AM - just 3.25 miles this morning as I have an early dentist appointment today.  

AM - a little less than 5.25 miles in the neighborhood on a sticky warm morning.  Ran without fueling today and with the exception of maybe not feeling quite as much "pop" in the last couple of miles comparatively - not much difference.   Just not feeling all that strong and relaxed on my solo runs.   Perhaps because I am not running with someone to distract me, I am just focused on how I am feeling too much.  Sure do miss running with my dog as well.   Saw my neighbor today with her very large bull mastif named Clyde - who was very responsive to my greeting today and happy to see me.  

AM - 7 miles solo and very easy for the first few miles from Wood Rd down Redd to the trail head on Brittle all the way back up to the end of the Milton Trail.  Lots of people out today.  Right hammy has a little niggle.   

AM - 12 miles solo this morning as a couple of the guys were out of town and one was doing a half marathon to pace a friend.  This is 2 weeks out from Sydney and so I wanted to go 10-12 miles but at an easy enough pace so as not to tax or deplete my fitness such as it is.  Slow start gradually got to a decent long run pace but not too fast.  Felt fatigued but not too terrible.  Watch battery died before I finished - so 12 or a little less was the total. Checked all the boxes for the effort today.  Now I will just maintain with easy efforts to keep fresh and try to avoid injury or illness.
