PM - a little over 8 miles with Finn on a warmer afternoon than in many recent days.  I think the warm weather was getting to Finn a little bit toward the middle and the end of the run.  Faster than planned, but I felt really strong most of the way.

AM - a little over 4 miles with Dan in the neighborhood.  Easier effort and cut it shorter than normal - Dan was not feeling it.

AM - somewhere between 5.5 and 6 miles this morning with Finn and Dan.  Much faster than I had wanted to go, and my watch stopped unexpectedly near the end of the run - and then restarted shortly thereafter.

AM - 6.25 miles this morning with Finn and with Dan for at least the early portion of the run.  He had an early work commitment, so he only ran the first 3 with me.  I travel later today to the West Coast for a day.

AM - 6 miles very early in San Francisco.  Watched stopped twice, perhaps because of rain - annoyed nevertheless.

AM - 9 miles with Finn on a beautiful spring morning.  Tragedy narrowly avoided when a little Shih Tzu dog got under his backyard fence and crossed a busy road to try run with us and then turned around back into the traffic - fortunately the cars stopped as I ran and yelled as the dog's owner came running out frantically.   

Good speedy run today on lots of hills - felt really solid.
