Running
Was able to squeeze this run in and added an extra bit as I had the time and was feeling good. Glad to get out as the weather wasn’t too bad and you could smell the rain in the air.
I might not have drank enough water before setting out on this mid day run today. When I got home I was not feeling tiptop for sure. Granted after cooling down I felt better but maybe I shouldn’t have gone out when I did or if anything as far. 🤷♂️
Felt good to get this longer run to start the week off in knowing mid week is going to be a challenge to find the time. Explored some new areas on this run and connected other places up.
After eating way too much food last night I really needed to get out for a run today to just move after not doing much yesterday as well. With the food, lack of good sleep last night, and heat today made this short run feel miserable.
Glad to have gotten this longer run in today and I was able to add a mile longer than last week which was good. However, by the time I got done I was drenched due to the humidity and heat. The only saving grace was that it was overcast and not full sun. 🥵
Wanted to get a couple of miles in today and probably picked a real bad time as mid day it was warm out. 🥵
I was on the fence about doing this run in the morning vs holding off to do it later today. It wasn’t to bad out today and somehow there was a rainbow out this morning. Maybe good sign for the day? 🌈
Great way to start off a new week is to get some miles in before really hitting work hard today. The weather was OK, but I could tell there is still smoke in the air and it was very humid. It did rain a little bit and I think that helped things but who knows it was still pretty humid out.
Was able to get a longer run in this morning and in fact my son was going to join me for 3 of these miles but I got a text at 1 AM with him bailing. That is ok, I still kept with my own plan and the weather was not to bad out. Also, glad to hit double digits again.
Not sure if it was because of all the smoke in the air today or because it was a long day or maybe the last two days with longer runs. However, this run felt like more work than it should have for being short. I actually had thought of going a little longer but decided against it.
Yes that is smoke in the air, not fog… 😶🌫️
The trail we wanted along the Minnesota river was washed out so we decided to take a tour around Shakopee and actually found a nice Greenway to run on after checking out Canterbury and an old Brick making site.

We are supposed to have a heat advisory later today so not as early as I should have done this run but still got it done in the AM today. Didn’t feel to bad at all after a weekend of traveling and not running.
Had to take the hockey player to morning practice today so I figured I should get a run in as I will be in the car later today. I used ever minute I could not knowing if I will get another run in this week but the weather was already humid and the air quality was not great either.
I had exactly 30 min to get this run in done before I needed to head down to watch day two of State Swimming for our youngest. Probably not the most ideal time to run due to the heat but I had a long afternoon/evening ahead of sitting.
Felt really good today on this very wet run as it rained the whole time. If it wasn’t for a meeting and picking up a kid from practice I might have just extended the millage on this one. Even with the rain it wasn’t bad outside.
My family keeps thinking I should take our younger but bigger dog for runs with me so I decided to give it a try again. About .4 miles in he just refused to go he was done. So we walked back to the house and then I went out and ran on my own. He was happy for a little bit of our run together.
Felt good today running and extended it as much as I could before having to pick our youngest up. It wasn’t bad out either but started to get warm when the sun wasn’t behind clouds but I will take this over the heat earlier in the week.
