AM - 5 miles or so with Finn this morning before work; feeling a little achy like I may be catching something.

AM/PM - early lunch workout on the treadmill - 7 miles at MP with a mile warm up and a half mile cool down.  Treadmill calibration was likely a bit off, (indicated I was running 6:40 pace) - but I liked that nonetheless - and mainly worked off of HR effort as my primary guide.

AM - 3 miles easy with Finn this morning. Gotta love dogs...he'd eaten a little bit of food and had some water before we started our run; not even a 1/4 mile in, without notice or warning, he just barfed it all up, and never stopped running, much less alter his gait.  #Committed.

 

PM - about 5 more slow miles at lunchtime.  Weather is starting to get less hot and humid.

Decided a rest day was needed - legs were really flat - and I was too busy at work anyway.

PM - good long run with Riley today on the Greenway of just under 15 miles.  Her longest run ever.   She did really well.
