AM - 6 miles with Dan from his house.  I brought Finn but Dan kept Rosie inside - as she was limping after yesterday's run.   Different/new route - good conversation.

AM - met Dan early at the trails as he had an early flight this morning - so we kept it short as well with just over 3 miles.   Feeling very good with running the last few days with my avg HR being at or under 130 at 8 min or better pace per mile.   It is cooler, but also, the recovery is coming along nicely from both the procedure and the marathon last week.

AM - Day 600 on my streak of running everyday.  5 miles with Finn in the neighborhood - thunderstorms overnight left the roads wet and the air humid and a bit warmer than normal for this time of year.

AM - 10 miles with Greg and the dogs on the Forsyth trail - great weather in the upper 40's to low 50's - felt great and averaged around 7:30 pace which was conversational the entire way
