AM - 9.25 miles with Dan and Finn up to Nix and down Birmingham to Wood then across to Thompson through East Bluff.   Cool enough but still sticky- good distance for a Labor Day morning.

AM - 5 miles with Dan and Finn on the Milton trail -  felt fatigued and achy today.  Not a great run.

AM - a little over 5 miles this morning with Dan and Finn at Milton HS.   Their cross country team arrived to do some training on the track during the time we were doing our run around the perimeter of the parking lots.  Dan was excited that one of their coaches was driving an old Toyota pick up - that reminded him of one that he had back in the 1990's that had been handed down to him from his grandfather.   In fact, he stopped to ask the coach what year the truck was and it turned out to be the same year as the one Dan had owned years ago in Connecticut.  He was so jazzed by the whole thing.  Funny.  Decent run after such a dud yesterday.  Helps that this was mostly flat and good surfaces.

AM - 5 miles with Finn through North Valley and back - a bit faster than yesterday, but much hillier today and so the effort was slightly more significant.   Warm and humid again this morning - my weather app shows some relief by this time next week.

AM - 5 miles in the neighborhood with Finn as Dan is traveling on business.  I was not particularly motivated to run this morning and in fact had convinced myself to go out by saying that I was only going to run 3 miles - but after the first mile, I got warmed up and more motivated to get a few more miles in.  Temperature was cool enough for a shirt today.

AM - 11 miles with the guys and Finn from my house today.  Ran Nix to Tullamore and then out Taylor road Batesville back through Triple Crown and up Freemanville.  Even though it was early on a Saturday, there was too much traffic for their liking particularly on Freemanville, but I really enjoyed the run and the hills with some much more comfortable temps and lower humidity than we have had over the last several months.
