AM - 3.5 miles with Dan and the dogs on the trail before church.

PM - 3.0 miles in Boston - went for a quick shake out after my flight - here for a conference.  Gave me an excuse to run over to the Tracksmith store to try to find another merino wool running shirt (out of stock unfortunately).   

AM - ran from my hotel in town down to Riley's home in Jamaica Plain and did a run of just under 5 miles with her and headed back to the hotel for about 10.5 miles or so.  Good to meet up and catch up with her.  

AM - just 4 this morning from my hotel over the Harvard Bridge and up the Charles and back through the Garden.  

AM - 5 miles with Finn mostly on the trail.  They are doing some work to convert the northeast section of the old golf course - where we would run through the grass and parts of the old cart path - to begin the second phase of the crushed granite trail.  They've dug up and removed a good portion of the cart path and have piles of concrete to be hauled away.   Hopefully they will go much faster on this portion of the project and get the granite trail base down in the next couple of weeks.  

AM - just slightly under 5.5 miles with Finn through the neighborhood, across Birmingham and into the Groves neighborhood and back.   Quicker pace on the way back - I have noticed I seem to be in a slower training pace pattern and I would like to get back to where I am running consistently at least 30-45 seconds per mile faster at the same relative HR effort. 
 

PM - treadmill workout after my workday.  4 x 800 with full recovery after warm up.  Pace was around 3:15 for the last two.   Good effort.  Probably could have done more but was short on time and likely wiser for it.  

AM  - 5 miles with Dan and Finn on the Milton Trail.  

AM - 13 miles in total for my longer run today.   Did about 2.5 miles with Finn early in the neighborhood and then drove downtown to meet the guys and did around 10.5 miles with them - which was good because I felt really "off" when I started, but running in a group and getting distracted with conversation got me through it, and I actually felt reasonably good for much of the last part of the run.
