AM - 4.25 miles with Dan and the dogs on the trail.  He's back in town from a working vacation in Connecticut.  Good to catch up.

PM - 2.25 deep water running miles.   Not really sure how to measure this, but have been using the indoor/treadmill feature on my watch to record the "distance".   Takes a good bit longer to do.  I think it is more than double the amount of time in pace per mile.   Guess it doesn't really matter if I am getting some therapeutic benefit and some training effect.

AM - 3.5 miles with Dan and the dogs from his new place.  Got a later start, so less time for a longer run.

AM - 4.25 miles with Dan and the dogs on the trail.   Quite muddy and sloppy particularly off the main trail due to daily rains.  

PM - about 2 miles of deep water running.
