Drove 9 hours to Denver last night. Ran solo through the mountain roads above the city. Beautiful but the hills were crazy steep.

You squeeze them in when you can.

En route from Denver to Nauvoo, IL we stopped for lunch in North Platte, Nebraska. I got in a quick run while the kids ate lunch. Hot, sunny, humid. OK. (6:44)

Didn't get to Fort Madison until 2am. Slept until 8 and then headed out. My family was driving from the Hotel to Nauvoo, which as about 15 miles so I decided to run it.

I found out, when I got to the bridge crossing the Mississippi that they didn't allow pedestrians. I had to hitch hike across.

It was already pretty hot. The run went ok, all rolling hills. Kept it easy. I was drained and dehydrated by the end. Spent the rest of the day touring. My legs were not happy to be walking all day. (7:04)

This race is a pretty big deal. People come from all over the country to run it. Well, 1 did. I couldn't fine a race today so I decided to hold my own 5K on the track.

Conditions: 78 degrees, slight wind on the back stretch, sunny.

Competition: An older woman doing 10 minute pace in lane 5.

Splits: 5:11, 5:08, 5:10, :30 - 15:59

It wasn't quite race effort. Hard to push at the end on my own. I think this is my un-aided PR. Sure is easy to breathe down here!

Easy/recovery run around Beaver Dam Wisconsin. The plan was to go for 10 but I got lost and wandered around town until I found the hotel. (7:59)

Last night was my FIRST Wisconsin fish fry. All you can eat fried fish buffet.

My plan this morning was to run 8-10 mile @ MP. I had 4 pit stops during the warm up. I felt pretty ill. I knew this was going to go badly but I thought I'd try, just in case things woke up. They didn't. I made it 2.8 miles at 5:40 pace through some gentle rolling hills before being forced back to the trees. I gave up and crawled home.

Last night was my LAST Wisconsin fish fry.
