AM - 6 miles with Greg and our dogs on the Birttle/Summit/Wood trails.  Dan's knee was bothering him so he did not join which would have likely kept Greg's pace more moderate.  As it was just the two of us, and I tend to match the pace rather than set the pace, we ran much more quickly than I normally run.   High humidity and dew points and a steep climb pressed my limits a bit this morning at mid 7 minute pace.  Good for me to do so every now and then, and good conversation too.

AM - 5 miles with Dan, Greg and each of our dogs very early.   We met at the Brittle/Summit trails, at 5:30 - and none of us remembered to bring our headlamps...lots of cloud cover and no lights - on dirt and gravel roads around horse farms.  No one fell or stepped in any holes - so it worked out.   Much easier effort with Dan in the mix too.
