| AM - a little over 3 miles with Riley and Finn before starting our days. Riley has her first of several online final exams beginning tomorrow. They are all pass/fail but she's still putting in the time and is very thorough in her preparation.

| PM - easy 4.25 with Riley on a really nice Mother's Day afternoon. The girls and I made a brunch and though it was 37 degree when we awoke, by the time we had our meal at around 12:30 it had warmed to the upper 60's. My eldest had her birthday today as well, so we transitioned to a birthday celebration in the evening with just the family of course; Delaney prepared a really tastey french main course and I baked some homemade bread.

| AM - cool 6 miles on the reverse Dinsmore / North Valley loop.
Got a notification on Strava yesteday that I had been "dethroned" of my course record for a segment I did dating back to 2012. I had to look it up on this blog to know what I had done that day. It was in Moundsville WV July 2012. My second run of the day, that was an unplanned progression run on a trail that goes around the perimeter of some ball fields. This was the summer I had been running 100 mile weeks. Evidently I felt good and started running some quick miles on this 1.25 mile loop to where the last mile was 6:08.
I was not aware that I had the segment record, nor do I really care; but it took 8 years?? for someone on Strava to run faster than me. Strange. Also, slightly depressing that at my age I will likely not see an impromptu progression run at that pace or quality again - nor the same volume of miles I was logging at the time. At the same time, kinda cool to look back at things from time to time. The guy who beat my record turns out to be the nextdoor neighbor of one of my nieces on Tracy's side of the family.

| AM - 5.25 miles with Finn. Ran into Dan who was out for a walk (doing a conference call) as he's been struggling with a knee injury and hasn't been able to run. He finally got an MRI confirmation of a torn meniscus and is getting scheduled for surgery.

| PM - 8 miles with Finn on the Forsyth greenway. Turned into a bit of a progression run with the last 4 miles on the faster side. Would have gone longer but it was in the 80's and Finn was starting to show signs that the heat was getting to him.

| AM -4.5 miles with Finn on a muggy morning. Rained overnight and we are evidently going to be in a wet pattern this week. Legs were really leaden today - probably from the all of the squatting and standing I was doing over the weekend with some household projects.

| AM - 4 miles with my neighbor Dan who is still injured, but reached out last night asking for a run. He's got a torn meniscus and needs to get the procedure scheduled. He feels like he can not make it any worse by running on it until the surgery, so we did about 4 miles easy and had a nice chat.

| AM - just under 5.25 miles with Finn and Dan on the golf course. Dan is have a PRP procedure on his hamstring injury this morning and then shortly thereafter he will have the knee surgery to repair the torn meniscus. So this was his last run for a couple of weeks as he figures it.

| AM - 5 miles on the treadmill - it was rainy and sticky out, plus Finn has some kind of injury (his right back paw or leg is causing some discomfort), so instead of going out I stayed inside again.
