AM Had a work broadcast so I took my phone to the gym and watched it while running. Ran 8.5, felt pretty good, especially towards the end. Would have run more but ran out of time. Started 8:45-ish, finished 7:40-ish.

Dollywood is finally reopening. We have season passes (first time we've ever bought season passes like this). We'll have to wear masks and reserve days, but it's better than nothing.

10 am- ran 6 miles on GE trail, 8:50-ish pace. Hot. Great to be on the trail again. Saw 1 worker in a golf cart, no other people. No animals, either.

Met Barry at 3 pm at GE, ran the trail. Rainy day, so wet but only 75 deg. Humid, obviously. Went to the gym and weight lifted later. Good to run with Barry, first time in a few weeks. The world always provides more than enough to talk about.
