AM - 9 miles early before church - ran Nix to Taylor Rd and the Batesville through Triple Crown.  I thought the route was 10 miles from memory but it was barely 9.  Quite hilly too.  Decent run but not quite as far as I had planned.

AM - 5 miles with Dan and Finn on the Milton trail.  Felt sluggish today - good to run and talk with Dan after he returned from a week's vacation in Maine.  We cut through a gated area which is a normal route for us, but the grass and weeds were overgrown and obscured some barbed wire that was loose at the end of the fence line.  Finn got tangled with the leash on the barbed wire and I got some scratches on my arm and legs trying to extract ourselves.  No real harm done.

AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and Finn from Dan's house along the dirt roads of Summit and Brittle past the horse farms.   Wore the Alphafly's and the run was much more enjoyable with less Achilles discomfort.

AM - 5.5 miles with the guys and Finn from Redd.  Very warm this morning - effort was solid - but the pace was dismal.  Early start too due to an early morning meeing at the office.
