AM - easy shake-out run with Finn before church. 

AM - 5 miles with Finn where we did the loop around Nix road.  

AM - 5 miles with Dan and Finn on the Milton trail.  Dan returned from moving his daughter into school for her senior year at Michigan - and so we chatted about that and my visit to Florida for my friend's mother's funeral. 

AM - a little over 4 miles on the trail with Dan and Finn - but he had to cut it shorter than usual due to an early morning meeting and a late start.  My achilles was painful on the uneven surface in the Saucony Rides - and the temperature and humidity made things feel worse.   So, after giving Finn a bath to clean up from the trails, I hopped on the treadmill for another mile or so and wore the Vibrams.  Interestingly, the even surface of the treadmill and the cooler indoor temps made the extra run feel nearly effortless by comparison.  

AM - 5 miles with Dan and Finn at Milton HS.  Three loops around the parking lots and then a mile on the NWestern middle school track where I recounted the World Championship 1500 meters story to Dan who had not seen it yesterday.  Love to see arrogance eat some humble pie - sorry Jacob - you are a great runner but 2 years in a row being outkicked in the final 100 meters...

AM - 5 miles with Dan and Finn in the neighborhood.  Quite warm and humid this morning - I feel as though this is the final push of summer for the next 5-7 days before things start to cool off for the beginning of fall.   Tracy is heading up to NY to visit Delaney and the two of them will be going to Boston for Riley's wedding shower later next week.  

AM - 15 miles with Greg on the Greenway - got an early start to get as many miles in before the sun and the heat became unbearable.   Most miles were at 8 min pace or better.  Last 2 miles were quite warm. Felt good about the effort.  Kept Finn at home for this one.
