AM

Weather - 58 degrees, sunny.

1 x 9 mile loop at Peninsula Park. Energy a bit on the wane the first 4 miles, then I started feeling normal and ran at an easy 7:45-8:00 pace for 3 miles. My body took over and decided to run the final mile at 6:15 pace. It was a thrill to pass two people riding bicycles on the trail as I neared the lake.

After the run I jumped into Nicolet Bay and let the cool water soothe my legs. I then did 3 sets of strength exerecises and stretching.

Will soon drive back to Whitefish Beach and do some more dune and beach running. My energy has been endless this week....

PM

Weather - 78 degrees, sunny.

Ran 6.5 miles on the back dunes trails, twice up Mt. Baldy, then 2 miles barefoot on the beach. Was starting to feel fatigued the last mile, so will run a short loop tomorrow to help my legs recover.

After the run jumped in the lake and cooled off my legs, it felt great.

"My energy has bee endless this week...." Man I'll say! SUPER WILL is what we have to call you now. Super miles. Super fast. Super time doing it! Keep it up buddy! All this distance training is going to work wonders for your racing later in the fall!

Thanks, Benn. The new and beautiful environment has inspired my training. When I get back home tomorrow evening it will be odd returning to low mileage singles running. Oh, well, Door County has been a great running camp.
