| Up late last night so slept in and then a full day with no time to duck out for a run. My foot felt relatively good today. |

| I got up early and couldn't get back to sleep so was able to get in a decent run this morning. My foot was sore at the start but loosened up by 1/2 mi and felt fine the rest of the run. It is a little sore now after I've stopped so still watching it. Avg. 7:50

County roads along the Oconto River to the Copper Culture State park and a little bit of a trail run. The air was thick enough with humidity that I could have have swam the run. Avg. 8:20 HR 133

This time went on the other side of the Oconto river and ran out past their airport. There was much less humidity today.

| Decided to head out to the bay. Ran to the end of the Oconto river out to the end of the break wall. It was great running that last stretch with water on either side of me. On the way back I saw a great blue heron and a little later heard a strange noise above me only to look up and see two sand hill cranes flying over. Avg. 8:08 HR 134
