Running
This one felt like real work tonight but the views were worth it after a busier day than I was hoping for. Now time to reset and it can be water under the foot bridges 😆 (Just bad humor, I know).
Nice evenings like tonight are just great when our good friends kids come over to play some backyard baseball.
Note: None of these kids play baseball we have hockey players, soccer players, runners, dancers, one in lacrosse and one in basketball. ☺️
Legs were a little sore from yesterday’s run as we might have been cruising faster than I should have. However, I went out with no expectation (like I normally do) but decided to stroll down the short nature trail by my house.
Was really nice outside this morning for this run. Glad to help a friend out and guide him though the streets in my neighborhood so he can continue his quest of running all the streets in Eden Prairie. After our run today he is at 94.1% 😱
After a busy day of manual labor getting the campsite setup it was good to get out for a quick run. I decided to take the backyard trail (as I call it) and it wasn’t as wet as it has been sometimes and it looks like they are making it more like a trail which I am indifferent if I like or not.
Spent the day getting the campsite ready to go for the summer. I had to piece the deck together, level the deck and camper and got the golf cart running. Only thing I couldn’t do was hook up the water but that should be easy next visit. Bummer was most of the day had spells of snow 🌨️😑
If he liked it or not I dragged my friend along for what should have been a shorter run but I guess I didn’t calculate it correctly and overshot our distance and we got caught in some rain. Fun exploring though and a fun map turned out that was not by design.
Rambling around the streets in the early evening. Wasn’t sure what to expect as I didn’t time dinner right and felt full but overall happy with getting this in before I had to run to some kid activities.
With the sun out today almost all of the snow melted away. I found a little bit on this bridge during my run which had to get cut short due to a text I received from a co-worker who really needed something.. I guess 🤷🏻♂️
Quicker than my normal run speed this morning because it was raining and I only had a 30 minutes to spare.
Wasn’t planning on going for a run to today and took it easy since I needed to somehow get my car as it was in the shop getting the AC fixed 🤦♂️. I hadn’t run on this little trail in a while as they have had it closed and I am sad to see they cut out a lot of trees but I am sure they had their reasons but I liked how this trail had tons of tree coverage.
Found myself back in the Edenbrook Conservation area tonight running with my friend as our kids were at basketball practice.
Wow it was actually hot out there at around 80°F so I made sure not to push it as my body is unsure what to do at that heat. However, with the snow mostly gone I could go find some new paths and bridges.
Kids didn’t have school today so I woke up early to get ahead of todays meetings only to find out a bunch of them got moved and I had some hours available. I figured I would capitalize on that and since the kids were still sleeping to put some miles in on this beautiful day.
Couldn’t avoid the pull of the nice weather today and I thought I would check out the marsh trails. I will say there is still a good amount of snow and water under the bridges.
Had to make a grocery run as we needed a couple ingredients for dinner tonight. I have done this before but these were a little more awkward to carry home and I am sure I got looks with this combination.
I really thought winter was over but it was snowing again during this run and really windy which made it extra interesting. However, the good thing is my running friend is back at it on week two so glad to have some company from time to time.
Just getting some miles in today. However, I did notice that a marsh nearby is really flooded with all that new snow melting. I had a random thought once to blaze a trail back there but might need to wait till winter again.
I fear these people might be losing their pond hockey goals this year as they look buried in the ice and with warm weather coming it might be lost.
