Last Bakery Run

A sad day today - the Bakery's last day. A tear came to my eye when I reached in their cooler and realized that I was taking the last Diet Dew. It felt like they were saving it just for me.

We beat the rain and got 7.39 miles in. I still am struggling, but glad I did it.

Wausau Running

I explored Wausau in the mornings this week. I got out two mornings while in the historic town for a meeting. I forget how fun it is to explore a town while running. Plus, I leave my Garmin at home and just enjoy the adventure.

Wausau was particularly great because of all the "painted lady" Victorian houses from the lumber Baron days and the slightly new ones of the early 1900's. I didn't even mind that they were all located on a very steep hill. So, I got a good hill work out in while viewing the historic beauties. Yes, I was thinking about you all. I found it was much easier to run hills in a new town.

The weather was glorious too... cool, but sunny and calm.

A nice albeit FAST run this morning. Thankfully Elyse stayed back with me while Sandy and Jenny took off. Those half marathoners just keep on rubbing it in, even after the marathon! But it did feel good to see that I can still run under a 9:00 pace! Plus there was a REASON why I was struggling.
