AM - 3 solo miles on roads before sunrise on Clearwater Beach.  Lots of memories here - including races - enjoyed the time just trotting along in the early hours.

AM - back home - ran with Dan this morning on the trails in some on and off rain.   Pace ended up being a little over 8:30 per mile and though my HR was a bit higher than it normally would be at that pace - I felt good.  Steady improvement on a daily basis recovering from the procedure.

AM - heavy rains through the night and when I awoke persuaded me to run on the treadmill this morning.  3 miles - last mile was right at 8 min pace.  1 week post-op from the stent #2.

AM - 3.25 miles with Dan and the dogs in the old neighborhood.  Still rainy out - but not while we were running.

AM - 4 miles with the guys and two of the dogs on the trails.   Averaged under 8 min pace - felt normal.  HR may have been a bit higher than I would expect to see at that pace, but it was quite warm and humid today - in the low 70s with some drizzle (and I did just have a heart procedure 10 days ago).   I see the cardiologist as a follow up this afternoon before heading to Boston - hopefully she gives me the green light to run Boston on Monday.
