AM - no run yesterday due to travel out west.  In Palm Desert for a couple of days for a business conference.  Got up before the heat and ran about 13 miles until the sun came up.  Ken joined me for the first 5 or so miles.  

Interestingly on the flight, I boarded right behind Hall of Fame - QB Jim Kelly - who surprisingly was not sitting in first class but on the same row as me - I recognized him, and talked a little bit.  Seemed like a nice guy.

AM - 7.25 miles this morning - Ken recruited another runner from the conference - who ran a bit quicker than I think we expected.   We passed a local runner on our loop who ran into us on the other side and decided to run with us for a bit.  So we had a team of 4 for a little while.  They all finished up around 4 miles and I continued on at a recovery pace for a few extra miles.

AM - a little over 10 miles this morning with Riley.  We actually went out for about 3 miles with Finn for the first 3 miles and then headed back out again.  Nice easy effort.
