AM - 6 miles with Dan and the dogs through Wood Valley and made our way across the former Milton Country Club into my backyard.   The deconstruction of the golf course to return it to a passive greenspace park is finally underway - all of the concrete cart paths have been removed - with piles of concrete still left to be hauled away.   Should be a matter of months and then it will be reopened to the public for use as a running and walking path of natural packed dirt/clay and decomposed granite.

AM - 4.5 miles quite early with Dan and the dogs - I had an early meeting in the office and needed to get the run finished up early.   Felt strange discomfort at the beginning of the run - but HR was not high or anything.   May get scheduled for a check up with the cardiologist since this has been happening a couple of times in the last few weeks.

AM - 7 miles with Finn on a particularly humid amd warm morning.  Probably went out too late.   Did not feel all that great and had some issues in the first mile until I got rolling.
