UWGB Trail

9.54 Miles 2 Loops 48:30 Bayside, 29:40 Golf Course
5:45 pm) upper 60's
Ran first loop with Rick. He has not run since last fall when he
was running this with me. He did good but is out of running shape.
We had several walk breaks. The time was 48:30. I think next week
he will run it under 45.
The second loop I ran solo. I forgot my watch tonight so I was using
my cell phone. I started the timer and put it in the car. I had no
idea what my time was going to be but I new I was pushing very hard.
Got back to the car and stopped the timer. I was happy to see it was
the fastest I have ever run this loop 29:40, 6:13 average. Previous
best was 29:44. Not a lot better but still a personal best and it's
early in the year. I think I can get it to 29:30 or better before
too long.

Was more sore today than yesterday. My legs felt pretty good
after a couple of miles. Ran pretty hard tonight but not as
hard as usual. I felt I needed to back off a little bit.

Fox River Trail

12 Miles 1:19:46 6:39 average per mile
2:10 pm) upper 40's Cloudy & Windy
Was going to run easy that didn't happen. Like usual I ran too
hard. I just can't hold back sometimes. I did feel pretty good
for the day after a race. I was a bit sore but that was to be
expected. Also I should have run 8 miles but did 12 just to hit
the 50 mile mark for the week. I should not worry about these
numbers but it's hard to change.

50.73 Miles for the week. Signed up for the Ice Age 50 miler
today. Has been on my schedule but I put it off for a while.
Race is May 8th.

Dick Lytie Half Marathon

12.80 Miles 1:18:22 6:08 average per mile
2nd Overall
10:00 am) upper 30's Sunny Windy!
Good race was very hard though. I ran all but the first 2 miles
by myself so made for a long race and mentally tough. I was no
where near the first place runner as he ran a super fast 1:12:53.
The course is short as always but it's the same course as last
year and I ran it 1:00 minute faster so some improvement. I'm
a little sore today but not bad I will do a run this afternoon
easy though.

Fox River Trail

10 Miles 1:02:05 6:12 average per mile
5:30 pm) upper 50's Sunny NICE!!!
Plan was to run somewhat hard but not this hard. I did plan to
run 1 mile all out. I did that and was happy to run a 5:28 mile.
I hope I didn't push it to hard with a race on Saturday. I'm
taking the next 2 days off so that will help with recovery.
