Run 31:15 [1] 3.2 mi (9:46 / mi) +150m 8:31 / mi
Stairs! Milwaukee is up on bluffs, and I found stairs, and ran up and down them, and got good and sweaty and went to swim in the lake.

Trail Run 58:01 [1] 6.7 mi (8:40 / mi) +90m 8:19 / mi
A little hungover after all the beer on the Terrace, but isn't that what Wisconsin is all about? Found some trails near picnic point, and got an hour in, to ready myself for more drinkage.

Run warm up/down 10:03 [1] 1.1 mi (9:08 / mi) +22m 8:36 / mi
Wisconsin has hills. Well, more than Chicago.
Run hills 38:13 [3] 3.2 mi (11:57 / mi) +238m 9:42 / mi
Another city, another NP. This time up and down the stairs at the Wisconsin State Capital. Oh, and some push ups and box jumps. Lots of people, lots of energy, lots of fun.
Trail Run 1:14:41 [1] 8.2 mi (9:06 / mi) +80m 8:50 / mi
Then I went to find some trails in the Arboretum. Not great trails, but decent running. Went for an hour-plus, then it was getting warmer and sunnier so I took a bus home.

Core 10:00 [3]
While laundry was going, did core. Starting with 1+2+ … +14 or 105, and adding a new number every day, until I'm at 20 (a deck, basically) of sit ups and push ups. Because core. Also because my apartment has air conditioning so it's not a miserable sweat storm.

Bicycle warm up/down 36:08 [1] 7.7 mi (4:42 / mi)
Riding on up to NP Chi.
Run warm up/down 22:11 [1] 2.2 mi (10:05 / mi) +16m 9:52 / mi
Run up and back to the "hill" where we do the PRs
Run 20:00 [3] 2.4 mi (8:20 / mi) +76m 7:35 / mi
Ooh, Chicago PR day is fun. No stadium, so you go to a hill (8m climb) and run down it, do a jumping jack, run to a burpee, run to a push up, then run up a hill. Then you run down and do two of each. Then three.
The record is 11.
I sprinted down the hill like I do summit, and won the first split, and then kept going. Felt good, and my HR was right up in the 160s, nice L3. Was up with two other guys doing 10 jumping jacks when time was called, which was good enough for a PR. Will go for a full 10 next time, but it's nice that it's 65 and not 80 today.

Bicycle warm up/down 37:47 [1] 7.7 mi (4:54 / mi)
And the ride home.
Came to a realization about bike lanes: they are not there to tell bikes where to go. They are there to tell cars where not to go. If you have a street without a bike lane, cars park further from the curb and drive down the "middle" of the lane leaving little space for cyclists. The bike lane keeps a clear path for cyclists. It doesn't mean you should feel safe, or bike in the middle of the lane (bike on the outside to avoid getting doored) but it doesn't mean it's not useful.
