PM - only took time for a 2 mile walk with Finn in the evening.  Very full day and weekend with family and friends and some long overdue home time that I just couldn't really pry myself away from in order to get some running in. 

AM - 5 miles easy/early with Finn.  Had an encounter with a very large and aggressive acting, Golden Retriever (odd because they usually are so friendly) who initially looked to be penned with an invisible / electronic fence in his owner's yard - but ultimately he came out onto the roadway running at us menacingly with loud barking.  Finn's reaction (a quick wimper, ears back - he's barely 35 lbs) was avoidance and flight instead of direct confrontation.  Fortunately we were fleet-of-foot enough to escape the potential danger relatively easily.  

PM - roughly 5 more on the golf course after work.  Looking and feeling a little more like fall.

Lunchtime - took an early lunch (and a slightly longer one too) - 1 mile warm up; 12 x 800 @ 3:10/4:10 then 1 mile at 6:05 pace.  Did this on the treadmill and felt very solid with the effort.  The treadmill calibration may have been off a bit - showing faster pace than perhaps my HR would demonstrate - but it was still fun running the last half of the last mile at sub 6 pace and feeling like I could go faster.

PM - did another 3.5 miles with Ken who was up here on business.  Nice to catch up with him. 

PM - 8 miles outside at lunchtime. Temps were reasonably comfortable but I was appropriately tired and somewhat flat from yesterday's workout.

PM - just enough time to squeeze in 5 miles at lunchtime on the treadmill at an easy pace.

PM - 10 miles in a light rain/mist - very hilly route.  

PM - long run on the treadmill- 22 miles total.  18 at long run pace with the last 4 at MP.  Surprised at how reasonably good I have been feeling on these workouts.
