AM - 7 miles with Finn in the neighborhood. 

PM - after work - treadmill tempo - short.   1 mile warm up then 3 miles at tempo with a gradual progression down from 7:25 pace to 6:48 pace per mile.  Did reasonably well - not having run that many fast miles since the Peachtree race on July 4.

AM - 5 miles easy on the new trail with Dan and the dogs - slightly cooler this morning and the city had the fields mowed - which allowed for easier off-trail running.

AM - 6.25 miles with the guys and the dogs on the trail.   I did about 2 miles before they arrived as Finn was itching to go and didn't want to wait.
