Ran 5 miles, partly through trails to get to a trail race and ran w/my 6-year-old daughter. She did 1.9 miles in 18:30 (9:44 pace). I thought it was pretty remarkable for her age. She did the first mile in 9:20 and then just hung on for the last segment. After the race I jogged home for 10.25 miles total.

Mid-80's out, so tried to find a route with decent shade. Headed down Norfolk Road towards Goshen. Did .25 warm-up and then 4 miles @ mp (7:10,7:10,6:56,6:47). Walked for .25 miles and then did 2-more mp (7:13,6:42) before jogging then final 1.75 home- 8 miles total.

Got back out after dinner, still humid, but got in another 8 miles while my wife accompanied me by bike- kept around an 8:40 pace and then ran mile 7 in 5:46...did very slow "cooldown" for mile 8.
