We had a great afternoon taking in a Wisconsin Dells feature. We’ve been to the Dells a few years now and haven’t taken in any of the attractions. We thought it was good to try something. #TheDells
Expanding The Meaning Of Running For Water
So this morning, after making it about a quarter of a mile from home, I realized I had forgotten to grab my water when I walked out the door. At that point I really didn’t feel like going back home and starting my run over. The first half of the run was OK, but the second half was a bit more of a struggle without my water, making my #Run4Water mean even more than normal. As I continued through my run, #WhyIRun was at the forefront of my mind. My struggle doesn’t even compare to the daily struggle for clean water that those in Sierra Leone, Africa face. I had the benefit of a virtually unlimited supply of water waiting for me after the run….
Back To Saturday Running With My Partner
We were supposed to have a slow easy run this morning but our conversation got the better of us and we kind of lost track of our pace. Felt good to be back out with my running partner doing a long Saturday run. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #SaturdayGroupRun Donate to Clean Water – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne

Sticking With The Pacers
I wanted to make sure I hit my target based on how my training went. I decided before the race even started that I was going to stick with the pacers. That plan paid off. Even though my target pace was supposed to be 8:42 min/mi my choices for pacers was 8:30 or 9:00 and so I decided to stick myself in between, but really I just stuck with the 8:30 pacers the whole way, mostly. After hitting mile 10 on Butterworth Street there was a long stretch that was all downhill. I took advantage of that hill and passed the 8:40 pacers. I maintained that position probably up to around mile 14 which is when the mental part of my run had to kick…
