AM - 5 miles shake out run to recover from yesterday's effort.   Intentionally slow start - a bit sore but not bad.

AM - 5 miles with Dan and Finn on the Milton trail.  Storms earlier were ending a little before we started, so the roads were wet and lots of puddles in the potholes of the dirt road of the trail.  Finn needed a thorough washing when we got home to get the mud/dirt off of him.

AM - just under 5.25 miles with Finn in the neighborhood.  Dan is out on business travel.  Rain most of yesterday and overnight - probably from the moisture pushing up from the gulf from the storm.   Felt very heavy and slothlike today.

AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and Finn on the horsefarm roads.  We were supposed to meet one of Dan's friends to run, but they did not coordinate the timing well.  Wet roads and humid conditions with the hurricane pushing up moisture from the Gulf to the south.  Expect more rain later today.

AM - a little over 5 miles with Dan and Finn at Milton High School.   Rains all passed yesterday, and it was slightly cooler today.   Good pace running the parking lot perimeter as it is almost entirely flat - plus a mile on the middle school track.

AM - 5 miles on the trail with Dan and the dogs.   Way overgrown and wet.  Not very enjoyable for me at least.  The dogs and Dan seemed to like it.

AM - 10 miles with the guys on the Greenway early.  I had expected to go longer but they both turned around at 5 and I decided to do the same - favoring the social aspect over the training. Cooler and less humid today.   Good run and conversation.
