Running
Just some Monday morning miles in what seemed to be warmer weather than I thought. I decided to run on the boardwalks again as I am not sure how much time I will have left before the snow flys.
Needed to get this one done early with kid activities today. Wasn’t sure how far I was going to run but happy with how it turned out and where I went. Last mile talked with my wife the whole time on the phone which was different but fun too.
A little windy when I turned to start to head home in this run today. Actually felt better than I thought I would as I haven’t had a rest day yet but I think tomorrow will be.
Wasn’t sure I was going to run today or not so I decided to meander around the neighborhood to get some miles in. However, in what seemed like an overcast could have been cool day was actually not a bad 45°F out.
Tuesday Trails! Found some time today to explore a lot of the Purgatory Park trails in this nice weather. Based on my map it makes it look like I had no idea where I was running to and I guess that is kind of accurate but I was never lost. 😃
Yep, it does get dark quick in the evening. I didn’t have my lights and was mostly in the dark during this run. However, I didn’t get hit by cars or trip on the sidewalks so I guess a win.
It was a nice morning to get miles in running along the Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail. Found a nice overlook spot in Excelsior to turn around and got a little speed on the way back.
After today this run was needed! The weather was great and I can’t complain about the sunset while meandering around. Glad to make a loop around the current Braemar trail as it looks what was a fun hiking trail might get overtaken for mountain bikers 😑.
Squeezed in a quick run today before the Ice Draw tonight. Wasn’t too bad out and might have overdressed as the sun wasn’t really out and felt colder before I started.
Wasn’t the plan but since there was snow out I felt obligated to get out and run today. ☃️ There was a little ice out there so had to take to the streets in places vs the sidewalks.
After a late night this run felt sluggish and didn’t help with the high winds today. Tried to find some coverage with a trail and around a marsh that is protected. Oh well I had the time waiting for morning hockey to get done so I will say I spent my time wisely.
We have gotten a lot of water the past couple of days and the marsh is showing it as the water is almost to the bottom of the boards. The run was good but a little slick on these planks and a lot of mud. Also, got cut short thinking I was going to miss a meeting that in turn got canceled.
Got this run done right before the rain came down. I was about 1 miles from home and my watch notified me that rain was starting in about 8 min 😅. It was not a bad morning but darker on the trail due to the rain clouds.
Early Monday morning run to start the week off right or I hope. Thankfully so many people keep their fun Halloween decorations on all night so I can enjoy them during these early hours. 🎃
Beautiful fall day running around Carver Nature Reserve. Explored some new trails and made sure to connect up to the last time I was out there so the map stays complete.
Finding my way around Lake Ann’s trails both marked and unmarked. Only ran into a few obstacles on this run and only almost fell once when I was in tall grass with some poorly constructed wood blocks to run on which I couldn’t see. However, sure could tell it was fall in the trees. 🍂
Sometimes you have a double run day 🤷♂️. Some meetings got canceled and with how busy the day was up to this point I just needed a break. So I hit the trails north of my house as I know them well enough to zone out and not trip on things. All the rain brought the water level up to the boards 😳.
