Running

    Out and back to Bug Light! It felt good running after what seems like a day of travel with a little work from time to time.

    Father’s Day 4 miles was all I could muster on a really humid hot day. If only the rain in those clouds would have come.

    Planned on enjoying a morning run while the family was asleep but when I got up at 6 it rained until 10. So the next best thing was making some breakfast bagel sandwiches for everyone. πŸ˜„

    Might still be some smoke in the air today from the Canadian Wildfires but much better than yesterday. It is strange looking at this photo now vs the many I have taken at other times. Felt good running overall but I think I could kind of tell.

    Found a couple random trails to explore around Westgate Conservation area. Some trails were good some seemed more like deer trails as I wound my way around this swamp. Other than that it was hot outside and I again chose a bad time to get out there.

    Meeting got done early and the boy was at basketball so I decided to get a run in. It wasn’t bad out today but better in the shade than the direct sun as I didn’t pack water. Was hoping this was a trail but it doesn’t look like it at all.

    Really couldn’t beat this weather this morning at 50Β°F. So the lack of effect was not due to weather but I got these miles in before going to sit at a dance recital all day.

    Little bit of a covered trail here. Not to mention the morning dew on this grass had me getting soaked as well as scraped up and full of seeds on my arms.

    This happens too many times but never gets old when I wake up in the morning to go for a run, put my AirPods in only to find 1 of the 2 has battery πŸͺ«πŸ˜–

    More trails tonight but this time around Braemar Golf Course in Edina again. I do enjoy the hidden trails that are less traveled but I am sure someday they will finish it off with this nice bridge sitting here in the weeds and overgrowth.

    Trails! So many fun trails that the miles just kept flipping by tonight. I am definitely going to go exploring this way again. Also, was great to get a run in with my friend again.

    This time of seasons is always depressing when you wake up at 5:30am to run and it feels like you are swimming. Also, looks that way after too.

    Tracks and Trails… Run started with rain and then the morning sun came out and got steamy even at this early morning hour. I chose my starting and ending point strategically so I could get some donuts πŸ©πŸ˜‰.

    Warm quicker than I should have miles so I cut it short. However, I got to circle and see the setup of Schooner Days. I have lived here now for 14 years and have never gone to one. 🀨

    Good shake out after a long Tuesday that felt like a Monday. Still warmer out than I would like as my body is not used to this yet but I slogged it out.

    Decided to make a quick run around Clear Lake today. Probably the first of many this year but wow was it warmer than anticipated today.

    What a beautiful morning today to go out for a run. Not to mention I stumbled upon a new little trail to explore which was most likely human created but might have been a deer trail that borders the conservation area.

    Beautiful day to spend on some of my favorite nearby trails. Typically I just cut through from one side of the conservatory to the other but today I decided to run all of the trails.

    Of course I tried to take the deer trail that followed this stream. It was fun while it lasted which was about 100M and then the deer must have went though the water but I stopped and turned around. I preferred my feet to stay dry as I still had a couple more miles to go.

    I knew this was going to be work today as I planned on going out at the hottest part of the day and right after lunch. Not sure what got to me more but I slogged it out.
