    good Strength test 00:30

    A lot of different exercises mixed with some Plank and push up tests. It wasn't pretty, but I did it. Goal is to get workouts in each week as close to plan as possible. Rebuilding back up s... read more

  3. RUN
    good LCT 5 mi 00:47 09:19 pace

    2 miles of warm up, 15 minutes of speed drills, then 3 more miles. I was okay with the slower paces with how hot it was at 4pm when I started. 82 degrees is not running weather. It's boating... read more

    alright Madison Half - Spring 13.1 mi 02:09 09:50 pace

    Glad I survived this with my lack of training due to issues that don't need to be posted.

    good Hartland Arrowhead HS 3.5 mi 00:31 08:43 pace

  8. RUN
    good Hartland Arrowhead HS 5 mi 00:45 09:00 pace

    When I reviewed my pacing, it looked like an erratic heartbeat. Pacing was everywhere as I tried to settle in to a comfortable run. Tried to focus on relaxed shoulders and arms to keep effort low... read more

  9. RUN
    good Hart Lake 5k -Hartland, WI 3.11 mi 00:25 08:00 pace

    Arrowhead HS 6 mi 00:58 09:35 pace

    good Stairs create stares 3 mi 00:33 10:53 pace

    I was supposed do a track workout, but I had to work late. Imagine that. The track was packed with youngsters, so I didn't want this elderly person interfering with them. I decided to run t... read more

    great Redemption - Lake Country Trail 3 mi 00:27 09:00 pace

    I stewed about the 8 miler on my way home from the kids track practice. I knew I should be able to run better than what I did. Took back off once I got home and put in 3 miles while focusing on ... read more

    good Ice Age rail in Hartland 8 mi 01:17 09:37 pace

    Tough run today in downtown Hartland. Started off feeling great, then GI issues caused problems halfway through. Once that was resolved, I struggled to get back into a groove. I got the miles in... read more

  14. RUN
    good Round the block 3.52 mi 00:30 08:33 pace

  15. RUN
    alright Great River Trail - Onalaska 7.1 mi 01:10 09:51 pace

    Beautiful crushed gravel trail along the Mississippi. Did pyramids throughout a lot of the workout to keep out of pace ruts and push a little. Only had one short walk break to get suntan lotion ou... read more

    good Frollicking 5 mi 00:46 09:11 pace

      Glad you had a good run. And I agree visibility is one of the two advantages of paleness. That's a girl dog you're referring to right??

      Brittani: Yes, it's my dog. Her name is Bella and she's a Golden Retriever. She's just over a year old and this was my first run with her. She did quite well.
