| Travel to Madison, Wisconsin today. Staying with my grandparents for a week to help them out as my grandpa recovers from surgery.
1 mile run with my 3 year old nephew. I wish I had this kid's energy!

| Easy run on Sun Prairie bike path, which runs behind my grandparent's house It's a dedicated bike path that runs through neighborhoods, parks, the woods, and through some native prairie grass restoration areas. Tons of birds, squirrels, and frogs! Lots of trail. Didn't even run the entire thing today.
Legs back to feeling normal today. That only took 8 days!

| Threshold run on the Sun Prairie bike paths. 12 miles and I still didn't run out of path. This is a great trail!
The wind made me work for it today. Plan was 2 miles warm up / 4 miles at marathon pace / 4 miles at half marathon pace / 2 miles cool down. Had to run the marathon pace and half marathon pace by feel of effort because the wind was 20 mph, seemingly in every direction. Paces were all over the place, but I think I managed to get the right effort levels for the workout.
warm up - easy
1 MP - 7:30
2 MP - 7:21
3 MP - 6:59
4 MP - 7:03
5 HMP - 7:12
6 HMP - 6:58
7 HMP - 7:47
8 HMP - 7:02
cool down - very easy

| 5 easy miles on the Sun Prairie bike path - to the woods and back. Heard thunder and noticed the sky turning dark grey, so I turned around to head for home. But I did not beat the storm. At first, there was a light rain and that felt great. I rarely get the chance to run in rain, so I was enjoying that fresh rain smell. The rain drops were BIG, and eventually it started pouring when I was about a mile from my grandparent's house. Then, it started HAILING when I was about a half mile from home - which was even better than rain! I doubt I'll get the chance to run in hail (or rain for that matter) for a long time! I got a few odd glances from motorists as I sprinted through the rain and hail with a huge smile plastered on my face! Rain, however, has a downside - wet feet!

| Hot and humid today, so I kept it easy on the Sun Prairie bike paths. The trees literally started budding today. The hot weather made the new leaves pop out finally! I've been enjoying all the birds around here. There is a bird in every tree! I've see hundreds of robbins, of course (WI's state bird). And lots of cardinals, geese, swans, ducks, oreals, some kind of bright yellow warbler. Today I also had two huge birding scores. First, I saw a wood stork, an endangered species. It was sitting on the edge of the lake. I got within about 15 feet of it, and the thing was huge. Almost as tall as me! I almost expected it to shake my hand and introduce itself to me. Then, I drove my grandparents through the UW-Madison Arboretum, and we saw wild turkeys - the males were all puffed out!

| I hate wind. Workout was 6 x 1 mile at 10K pace (6:30) with 3 minute active recoveries. The wind in Wisconsin made me work for it again. I wasn't able to hit the 10K pace very consistently because I was being blown all over the place! I thought about quitting about half way through each of the working reps. But I perservered somehow! Usually after a very hard workout, I feel good about the effort, but after this one I was just glad to go inside and get out of the wind!
2 mile warmup
mile 1 - 6:39
mile 2 - 6:33
mile 3 - 6:44
mile 4 - 6:47
mile 5 - 7:05
mile 6 - 6:41
1.5 mile cool down
Last run in Wisconsin. Heading back to San Diego today!

| 42 miles in 5 days = needed rest day. Taking sailing lessons this weekend. It's been a long time since I've learned a new skill. I even have to take an 80 question test tomorrow!
