Running

    The strange things you find in the middle of busy streets when running. I have to think this looked really odd carrying the last mile of my run though. 🔨🤔

    Sometimes to break up a long drive you just need to stop at a random park and go for a run.

    📍Riverwalk Park, North Branch, MN

    Just an amazing find running today. Utilizing all this excess show we have been getting by building a huge fort in the middle of the cul-de-sac. Well done family or families that are involved!

    Going to be a busy day so this was really the only time and distance I had to work with.

    Had to pick the car up from the shop today so it seemed like a good time to get a run in.

    This is really a minor gripe in the grand scheme of things but I wish the sidewalks were clear. This should be a sidewalk next to this this busier road that was my only way home so I played a frogger style going from side street to side street. 🐸

    Junk miles today… I say this because I had only a certain amount of time to do this run. I was so worried that I wouldn’t get back to my daughters dance studio in time so when my shoe came untied at mile 1 I didn’t stop to tie it and kept trucking to the end. 🤦‍♂️

    Normally I stop to take pictures but this was taking while moving. I feel it is clearer than I thought it would have turned out.

    Loving the bright sun reflecting off the frost of the trees today. Should have wore spikes running today. Let’s just hope someone was watching my slip sliding display in a nearby cul-de-sac. Didn’t crash as I caught myself with my hands but I’m sure it was a sight.

    Winter running tools needed during this night run. The side streets have not been plowed great and after an above freezing day with lots of menting snow the temps have turned again and are dropping. Didn’t fall.. Win! 🧊

    As much fun as blazing my own trail is I will take the hint as it is snowing again and assume this trail is closed. Thankfully the sidewalk I was on was cleared so it wasn’t too bad out running this evening. Just still snowing… 🌨️

    Nothing like running shuffling through deep snow today as there was probably 4-5 inches already on the ground and not plowed in some places. It was fun out there though ☃️🏃🏻‍♂️

    I did not do a face plant in the snow but the last 5 blocks was straight into the wind/snow.

    Now that it is colder again the ice is back out on the streets and sidewalks. Didn’t fall on my run so that is a win and I continued to fill in my street map.

    Not a bad way to start the New Year than a run with my oldest Daughter. I was surprised when she said she wanted to come along so I changed my plans as how could I pass this up. 😍🏃🏻‍♂️

    Getting in a run in before the day is done. Probably the last one for 2022 and after a sluggish first mile started to feel better. It could also be finding some pavement that isn’t slush and snow.

    Thanks for not plowing and actually leaving a pile of snow on the sidewalk McDonald’s 😖. Had to take our van in so figured I would run home as we have a busy afternoon.

    Wet rough mess out there running today. However, after all the festivities I was slow moving so it didn’t bother me too much just didn’t want to hurt my feet or ankles. Short weather today as it was a warm 38°F.

    Early morning Christmas run before opening presents. It was another cold one but I was just trying to make sure I made it back in time.. I might have been right in the nick of time. 🎄🥶

    Wave one of workers done in the house and the family went bowling. So I took a 27 min run outside to see how cold it was really was. Looks like I got my 2022 frozen face picture in the books. 🥶

    New profile picture too 😉

    Snowy run today that was slow going as there was a nice sheet of ice under as well. However, I used this time to fill in some streets that I have not run close to my house over the years.

    There was really no plan to run today but I couldn’t pass up this beautiful scenery. If anything it is a great way to just zone out for a while and I took a 3.1 mile route I have run so often back in the days of the 5k a day that I could really just zone out.
