AM - 14 miles with Greg on the Alpharetta Greenway before sunrise.  Whenever I run with him - it ends up being much faster than if I ran solo particularly on long runs. I think we averaged under 8 min miles for the first 10 until t declared that my HR was much closer to a tempo effort in the warm extreme humidity than a long run pace.   But perhaps this is a good training approach - we shall see.

AM - 5.5 miles with Finn in the dark during a driving rain from Tropical Storm Fred - reminded me of running in the sometime heavy summertime rains in Florida during cross country practice when I was in high school.   We would sometimes go to the golf course and slide on our bellies on the wet downslopes of the fairways.  Landsurfing. 

PM - 3 miles on the treadmill after my workday ended
