PM - 7 miles on the Alpharetta Greenway with Finn.  Quite warm again (92) but the trail has a lot of tree coverage.  Finn suddenly stopped at 4.5 miles on the way back and turned around to go back under a bridge on a search for water.  He's never done that before.    I brought him down bank to the creek to drink but he snubbed it and I slipped on the muddy clay.  He found some standing rain water puddles back on the trail from last night's rains and drank that instead.  Somewhat covered in red Georgia clay/mud, we walked for a little bit and then he resumed the run.  Stopped at the YMCA in the last mile or so for more water but he wouldn't drink.   We got home and each hosed off and got rehydrated - he seems fine now.

AM - 5 miles before sunrise with Dan and his dog on the golf course.   Finn was given a day off to recover from yesterday's events.   He was also limping a little, favoring one of his front paws.  He wanted to go, but did not protest too much when I went out the door without him.

AM - just over 5 miles with Dan and our dogs.  Finn was better today.   Slightly cooler temps this morning with a tad less humidity - was a nice surprise.

AM - 3.5 miles with Dan and our dogs on the golf course.  One of the bridges was under repair which made for a sketchy swamp crossing.
