The local run today got canceled but I still decided to get outafter the rain stopped. However, wow the humidity and heat I was not ready for again.
Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸
Might have gotten rained out of things this morning but these two paraded around the campsite.
Today starts day 1 of 11 for our Lake Superior RV trip with some friends. This will mark the first long trip we have taken with the RV over the course of multiple days. We are going to be staying at 9 different campsites over the course of 11 days. We will be driving a minimum of 1560 miles through 3 states and 2 countries.
Here are the places we are going to visit (or stay at) along the way:
Didn’t really want to get up and move today. However, this was the only time I was going to find to run so it was a now or not going to happen. Maybe my effort shows that too but at least it was nice out this morning.
Early morning trail run on the boardwalk. 🏃🏻♂️
One would think a simple question to my cell phone provider of does my plan cover data usage in Canada should take about 1 min. The agent is still looking into it as we are approaching 15 min.
With this heat I am thinking I need to get up earlier to get my miles in. However, it was still pretty warm out at this hour too. 😴🥵🏃🏻♂️
Happy Father’s Day run. I explored more of Waconia today and found some new trails and couldn’t find others I had hoped to find. 🏃🏻♂️
*Had to follow Doodlebug trail *🐶
Looks calm but I tell you what it was hot, humid, and windy out there today. I probably should have woke up earlier today to get this done. 🏃🏻♂️
Wasn’t feeling it today but glad to get some miles in as it was cooler than the prior days. 🏃🏻♂️
Thankful for the cloud cover today as it was still humid out there. 🏃♂️
I meant to run much earlier today to avoid some of the heat and humidity but didn’t and was right in the thick of it. If the sun would have stayed behind the clouds that might have helped as well. 🥵
Felt like I was swimming out there today with the humidity and heat. I did find a new place I have run by often but never down the road to see the water. Maybe because it was downhill and I knew I have to run back up later 😁.
In these brief moments I am reminded why it was worth all the travel I did years ago.. I love seeing the joy on my kids face when we go to a hotel for no reason at all than to relax and hang out at a pool by yourself 😉.
Change of office scenery today
I think my Xfinity Mobile finally fixed my problems after multiple calls and chats with customer support. Not to mention the number of hours with out cell service while there were fixing it. Time will tell if it is really corrected 🤷♂️
Most likely the last run in this area till fall when my girls are back at dance. I enjoyed this small loop I found that is right around 400 meters. It is a good way to pass the time towards the end of my run that is close to the studio. 🏃🏻♂️
New place to run but my legs were not ready for the rough terrain and up and down of these trails. However, some of the scenery might have made it worth while. 🏃🏻♂️
📍 Lake Elmo Park Reserve, Lake Elmo
I guess leave it better than you found doesn’t apply to whatever contracted crew did some work on the CenterPoint gas lines today…
Now what am I supposed to do. 😒
To say I am not excited about this day is an understatement… Death by meetings ☠
As unplanned days go this was another unplanned run but it was nice out and I had good company for it. Thankful he waited an extra 15 min as I realized I forgot my shoes. 🤦♂️ 🏃🏻♂️
Decided to change my plans today and surprise this girl for lunch today 😁. She had been begging us for the last month now that visitors can come into the school and seeing how this is the last week of school it had to get done.
I think the other kids were quite jealous of the food I brought because she said everyone else’s parents bring this. Come to find out they all want it but no one brings it. 😆
It is interesting to think that she is in 1st grade and almost done with this year and I have never really been in her classroom. Some of it is she it at a different school than her siblings but also with COVID protocols the past 2 years we were never really allowed in the school much. So it was also fun for me to see where they eat lunch and the hallways she walks down every day.
Today’s unplanned run was powered before and after by Casey’s pizza. Probably not the best choice for before but then again I wasn’t shooting to run so far today. However, I was asked and well how could turn down running with a friend. 🏃🏻♂️
This was the post run pizza. 😁
Wet and rainy morning has lead to an early fire this afternoon. Pretty peaceful out in this little corner of the campground we now call “ours” for this year and maybe beyond.
Ummm… that is not what I wanted to happen Xfinity. Now it makes sense when I looked at my phone during the middle of my run and it said activation failed and I had no service 😒🤬
