AM - 4.75 miles with Dan and our dogs on the golf course.  Dan's calf issue made an unwelcomed reappearance and so we did a fair amount of walk/run's to compensate.

AM - 6 miles with Finn in a light mist/rain on a hilly route.  Too much traffic out today, schools in the county are resuming in-person attendance on an incremental schedule.  1 day per week for 2 weeks etc.   Students can still choose to do virtual and even can alternate, I think.  Either way, there were more cars and school buses out this week than I have seen since February.

AM - rained all day yesterday and all through the night - but let up enough for a short 4 mile run with Finn in the drizzle this morning.  Was not really "feeling it" this morning.
