Eight miles in the early morning on a bit muggy & smoky day.  Later went to the gym for 30 min XT + core.

Another 8-miler in the early morning. Noticeably cooler today than yesterday and it felt good. Only problem was all the smoke in the air, I may have done more damage than good running in the gunk my clothes smelled like a forest fire when I got home.

Ran watch free as the garmin decided to do it's thing where the battery is dead for no good reason.  No worries though it was nice to not have the watch, I need to remember to do these watch-free runs more often.

Great morning for a run, fairly cool, not much wind and the smoke seemed to be gone. Felt really good during the run, got wild & crazy and ran my usual 8-mile route backwards.

Later went to the gym for 30 min XT + core.

Another dandy 8 mile morning run. Love the cooler temps, the wind not-so-much.

Got in 4 miles solo then went out with Kim to pace her on a 5K tempo run.  She did very well, I told her just under 8 min pace would be dandy and she averaged around 7:45 and ended up around 24 minutes. Very nice!

Added a few more miles here and there to get up to 14 for the day.
