Green Bay Running

So we are in Green Bay this weekend visiting my parents, celebrating my birthday early, and going to a Packer game tomorrow. Since we have a big steak dinner planned, and plenty of junk food to be eaten, I needed to go get some exercise. So the family and I headed to a local trail. I have run here before. It is a nice long paved trail that follows Baird's Creek. My wife and daughter walked with my parent's dog, while I ran.

Up at a decent hour on Saturday and what a fantastic morning. Sunshine and mid 50s. Goal was to run 2 miles then walk for a bit after each mile. Knowing it is generally downhill on the way out. I was successful in that goal, again keeping a nice pace.

They have received a ton of rain in the past few days so the creek was high and had to run through some mud areas where it had flooded. A bit slick, wasn’t expecting that. But it kept the run interesting, and set the stage for a great day.
