PM - in Green Bay for work this week. 10 miles on a nice trail - Fox River State Park trail - muggy and a little buggy- but a good run at the end of a long day.

PM - somewhat of a blown workout. After a long day I headed out on the same river trail.  2 mile warmup then 2 x 2 miles at 6:40/7:10 with a 5 min rest.  Quite warm near 90 with dp at 72 and humid.  Thought I would use the HRM to gauge the effort based on how I have been running those paces on the treadmill - but the first rep was about 20 secs too slow on the first and the second was even slower.  So when I started the second rep I decided to hit the designated paces - which I pretty much did - but my HR was blown up doing it.   The trail was great with mile markers every 10th.  They have a great trail system here - bike and run in the summer and cross country ski or snowshoe in the winter.

PM - 8.25 miles meandering around the streets, neighborhoods and scary / sketchy industrial area (when I made some wrong turns) of Green Bay.

AM - 10 miles at marathon pace effort on the treadmill. 1 mile warm up and cool down.  

PM - workout #2 for the day - 10 x 2 mins /off then 8 x 1 min on/off on the golf course.  Felt reasonably decent and was generally pleased with today's effort.
