Raining a bit, but no sign of lightning.  Started with 1-mile warm-up and then went uphill for 4 miles @ a decent pace (7:26,7:06,7:09,7:20)- mile 3 was the most difficult with a fairly steep grade for the final .4.  Ran a couple more miles before meeting up with my wife.  We ran a 10k course together, so I ended up with 12.5 miles total.  Good start to the week!

Ran while 3 of my girls accompanied with bikes.  Got down to the track and ran a 5k in 25:11 w/one of my daughters while the other to stayed on bikes.  Got back to the track and accompanied my 9-year-old in running a mile.  She did it in 7:18 while battling high heat and humidity.  She hopes to break the record in August for the "Night of Miles" in her age group.  Today would have broken it by 8 seconds, however, the challenge on that night will be pacing (she won't have me alongside to help keep her from starting too fast).  Jogged back home and totalled 8.6 miles.
