AM

Weather - 58 degrees, sunny.

Perfect weather for a long run. Started at 6:15am at Peninsula Park, finished 2 hours 30 minutes later. Ran 2 x 9 mile loops through woods and meadow. Very soft trails, the scent of pine and hemlock permeating the fresh air. Felt good the whole way, kept a consistent pace, did not get tired. My right achilles had a slight twinge/ache at mile 12, but after stretching it felt fine.

After the run I jumped in Nicolet Bay and let the water cool my fatigued leg muscles.

Hiked 4 miles in the late morning at Newport Park with Rachel, it felt good to stretch the legs with an easy activity. 

PM 

Weather - 68 degrees, sunny.

Ran 4 easy miles at Peninsula Park. Legs stiff for the first mile, the last 3 miles felt normal, was able to run 7:30 pace easily.

Benn, you are doing some great workouts also! If you practice some swimming you can kick some butt in a triathalon.

I'm off to Whitefish now for beach running and swimming....
