Did only one run in Wisconsin. I didn't do it until the morning before we left. I was (obviously) not mauled by bears. I was however, mauled by deer flies, so I wouldn't have done any more runs even if I'd done the first one sooner. I also haven't run SINCE then, which means I have to run today and two of the three remaining days this week to get to 4 runs (a goal which I've been aiming for, but so far have not achieved).
Downside to Wisconsin: food. really good food. and lots of it. -- I gained like 6 pounds in 5 days. I'm not joking. I have no idea how it happened. I ate more than usual I guess but I didn't think it was that over the top. We tend to do a lot of sitting around so that probably didn't help either. At any rate, I am super bummed because in 6+ months of running pretty consistently, I'd only lost maybe 8 pounds. So I am now back to 2 pounds from my heaviest. I don't blog too much about my weight, and I don't want my running or this blog to become about it. I'm not overly obsessive about, even though I think (know) I need to lose 40-50 pounds. I just thought running would help. Anyway. There's my rant. I need to eat less. I eat decent quality food so I think it's primarily a portion control problem at dinner. It's mostly because I don't know how to cook for one. And I don't know how to put the extra 2 or 3 servings away for leftovers and stay out of them. If anyone has any tips I'd love them.
I'm planning a 4-miler today so I'll update post-run to tell you how it went. I'm not feeling super optimistic at the moment but I'll try to shake that feeling in the next couple of hours.

Glad to hear you didn't get eaten. :)
The weight thing is always a pain in the butt. Sounds like you are already splittingyou meals into portions and leftovers when you dish them out. That really helped us, along with weighing/measuring, and honestly the biggest thing was using a food log to track calories and macronutrients.
The log helped us pe responsible to the log to keep thing sunder control. Even when we had a bad day, we tracked it all, and that helped minimuze it a little, because you knew you were going to see it when you looked at it again.
I can put myine up somewhere you can get to it if you need one.
