PM - lunchtime - Yasso's 800's on the treadmill.  10 x 800 @ 3:04 average with a ~3 min recovery.  I started out at 3:10 and gradually moved down each rep until the last one which was at 2:58.  These were appropriately difficult.  I was pleased with how I felt and how these went.

AM -  4.15 miles with Dan and Finn.  Was planning a long run which I may do later -but when someone calls and wants to run - I rarely say no.  So when Dan asked - I simply changed plans to do whatever he had time for.  He runs quite quickly out of the blocks - and it was very warm and humid.  Had a nice chat on the old golf course. 

PM - long run with a fast finish on the treadmill - last 3.5 miles between 7:15 and 7:30 pace.
