Morning:  18.36 miles Hwy 106 West.  My run came early this morning with only 7 hours of sleep, but I've got to carpet my camper addition today and I didn't want to chance having enough energy to do it later in the day.  Slow start to the run, but found a grove midway through. (1)

Morning:  4.87 (1) miles pushing Jameson in the stroller to Jill's house today.  Left the stroller at Jill's and ran back home without the stroller.  The run this morning put me over 100 miles for the past 7 days.  It hasn't been since last fall that I've been up this high in mileage.  Granted the miles were all easy miles, which isn't nearly as difficult when doing 2 or 3 quality days with the mileage.

Evening:  15.55 miles on Glacial River trail toward Jefferson.  I was only going to run 11, but decided to put the extra miles in today to beat the heat of tomorrow.  The next couple of days are calling for record highs with humidity pushing the heat indexes to 110.  It's been so dry here I feel like I should be doing a rain dance for the farmers. (2)

I also capped off my last 7 days with highest 7 day lifetime mileage total hitting 119.43 miles.  It feels good to know I can mentally and physically handle the mileage when I have the time to train this much.  Not sure I could sustain much speed work at this mileage yet, but I think with some more time it would be doable.

Morning:  10.38 miles Glacial River Trail, hot, humid, and windy again.  I got a late start too, so it wasn't pleasent.  I needed the sleep, with the late night trying to get my masters course work done.  Nothing like waiting till the day before class to finish up 10 hours worth of work.  Thats what happens when you start running hundred mile weeks, time suddenly gets tight! (1)

Evening:  5.22 miles in town loop after my class.  I always have a hard time going to bed after my course, I guess mind gets going and I have a hard time turning it off.  I decided waiting to do my run until after class might be a good idea for calming the mind.  Plus the sun would be down and hopefully cooler.  My predictions were right!  Very nice evening, little to no wind  with a clear view of the stars and moon.  Threw in 6 striders using the lights on the path to mark my distance.

Morning:  4.92 miles Hwy N.  The run this morning came early due to the late run last night.  The legs felt good once I got going though.  Wow, it was muggy this morning! (2)

Evening:  13.31 miles large in town loop.  I decided not to run during the heat advisory since it was a heat index of 105 and no wind.  That left me with a late run again, but gave me the opportunity to see a beautiful sunset and a little cooler temps.  Everything felt great tonight, one of those runs you live for.  Added 6 strides in the last mile of the run.

Morning:  8 miles - 2 miles up to McDonalds to get Jameson breakfast and some time to play in the play area.  Then I ran him to daycare for the day and back home.  Now it's time to pack for my trip to Wyalusing State Park for some trail running.  This is one trip I've been looking forward to.

Amazing races in the Men's and Women's OT 5000m!  

 Evening:  10.76 miles of trail running around waterfalls, bluffs, cliffs, and prairies.  Finished it off with swim in the Mississippi.

Morning:  10.49 miles out at Pike's Peak State Park in Iowa.  Not much sleep last night, the raccoons kept trying to get into our gear and my body wasn't digging the ground sleeping.  Amazing views at the Park over looking the Mississippi and Wisconsin River waterways.

 Evening:  4.51 miles Glacial River Trail - Humid, Humid, Humid
