AM - 7 miles with Finn early before church.  Both watches were low on battery - so I opted for the Garmin which did not connect to the GPS signal until late in the run - so it was showing some very nice splits using the accelerameter - which I knew I was not running at that pace - good solid run overall.

AM - 5.25 miles with Finn on the horsefarm trails - We started with Dan and Rosie from his house, but less than a mile in, the tree pollen in the air was so significant that it clouded over Dan's hard contact lenses to where he could not see.   This has happened a handful of times over the last few years in the Spring with him.   So he urged me to do the run without him - and he turned back and did a workout indoors.   2100 meters of indoor rowing and some yoga afterwards.

AM - 4 miles with Finn in the neighborhood - felt very tired and decided to run slower and shorter today.   2100 meters of indoor rowing followed by a short yoga session.

AM - 5 miles in a light drizzle in the lower 50's through the neighborhood with Finn.  Nice spring-like morning with the flowering trees blooming and leafing-out and lots of birdsong.

AM - 5.25 miles on the trail with Dan and the dogs - we got separated from Finn for a while in the underdeveloped area - where we encountered a herd of deer - at least 20 of them and Finn off-leash decided to give chase - We lost track of him for a little while but Dan found him and I put him back on leash.   Heading down to Tampa this evening to do a fun race that I have not yet done - the Skyway 10k.  Staying with Richie - running together - should be a cool experience crossing the iconic bridge over Tampa Bay.
