Old Standby - 6.5 miles, no watch. Nice and easy with a bit of pick up the last part of mile 6.

Skipped my morning run, but the afternoon was great. A young boy said to his mother, "Mom, look how skinny that guy is!" Guess I won't cut out my new ice cream diet after all. Almost got eaten by a dog named Lucky. Luckily the owner had a pretty strong command on the pooch and reeled him in with his voice. He was actually apologetic, which was new.

Definitely better than the normal pointing-and-laughing dog owners when the dog gets loose. Nice repeats yesterday, I'm trying some myself in the morning, but only 4!

It's not uncommon for me not to see owners even after yelling. This guy was cool, but I'm still not sure why he had to have his dog out in the front yard. Lot of kids around that time of day.

4 repeats is plenty. I had to walk a good bit of the last 3 recoveries. Your long runs and legitimate recovery days are going to get you where you need to go. I'm back to ditching the watch a few runs a week to make recovery runs more recovery-focused and more enjoyable.
