Afternoon:  7.66 very very easy miles helping Karen with some 200 and 400 repeats.  Total of 12x200 and 3x400

Avg. the 200's in high 40's and 400's in the upper 1:40's

I probably would have run another run, but I ran out of time with all the graduate course work I had to work on today.

Afternoon:  4.4 miles around Fort @ 7:45 avg pace.  75% humidity and 75 degrees

PM:   10 mile progression run - wow the heat was tough to deal with today.  I'm not acclimated for the heat yet.  I managed to work through it, but I was way off on my end target pace for the progression.  I was hoping to finish in 5:40's and struggled to hit 6:17!  Nonetheless, I did a good job accomplishing the progression going 8:09, 7:53, 7:45, 7:43, 7:30, 7:15, 6:50, 6:48, 6:35, 6:17.  (Glacial River Trail toward Jefferson out and back)

9 miles @ Kettle Moraine on Blue loop.  Afterward we did some grilling around a camp fire with friends.  Jen's 1st time at the trails, she really enjoyed them.  Best of all I think her knee came out okay after running the hills.
