| AM - 4.5 miles with Dan and Finn from Milton HS and through Crabapple - although slightly warmer and a little more humid with expected highs in the 90's the next two days, it is really fairly comfortable out. I think officially my hip flexor injury is 99.9% recovered. My effort this morning was at an avg pace of 9:17, but my HR was only 118 for the entire effort which is quite good for me of late. In Feb / Mar with the hip injury and post-viral HR issues I could not even run a mile at 10:30 pace under 150 bpm on some mornings.
I attribute this improved fitness to 1. taking some time-off / ending my running streak on May 28; and 2. probably, more importantly, changing my diet to an anti-lectin - gut friendly nutitional program. My weight is down by at least 15 lbs and my labs are all within normal ranges total Cholesterol under 185, Ferritin 105; I have an avg blood pressure every morning at well below 120 /73 - (this morning was 115/65), I am now 138 lbs, my sleep data shows an average of 7 hours per night with at least 2 hours of deep sleep (up from 45 mins per night). I have averaged over 40 mins per week since July and the last two weeks are over 50 miles. I cannot say enough about gut health.
PM - 3.5 miles in the heat of the late afternoon on the trail.

| AM - legs were very much in need of a rest - so we did a slow recovery run effort on the trail with the dogs.

| AM - a little over 6 miles in Grand Rapids Michigan - here for a wedding of one of Tracy's cousins today and extending our stay for her to visit family and see the surrounding area. Sticky but not terrible conditions, rain storm hit just as I was finishing. Spoke last night with the son of one of her cousins who ran cross country in high school here and was a teammate of Dathan Ritzenhein - they graduated together. Dathan of course went on to have a great career in running, and Tracy's cousin never ran a step after high school :).

| AM - a little under 14.5 miles in Grand Rapid - along the river on a nice tree lined trail and back on the other side of the Grand River. Decent enough effort in the last 6 miles
