Running
Since we still have this nice weather I decided while my girls were at dance I would go run across my hidden bridge again. Only too bad it gets dark so early as once I got back on pavement to trek back it was dark.

Found a gap in my calendar early today and took advantage of it. Decided to explore some trails I havenβt been to in a while.

In between all the stuff today I found some time for a run. I am kind of surprised I had these trails to myself today as the last couple of times I have come across people. ππ»ββοΈ

Had to take it real easy as it got dark fast and these boardwalk and trails require some decent footwork with no running lights. However, it was a well neede break today. ππ»ββοΈ

Found the hidden bridge I was looking for but also another one too π. Overall run was good after starting off a little rocky by tripping over rocks on a trail covered by leaves π€·π»ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ.
Even though I am still not feeling 100% I needed to get outside today. Decided to go out and catch the sunset on a boardwalk trail run. ππ»ββοΈ

Richard T. Anderson Conservation Area is one of my favorite places to run but it is all hills. My Lungs were burning a little today from a nagging cough so I didnβt push it and just enjoyed the views.




It has been a couple of days so it was time to get out for a run. I figured I would just find some trails and do some exploring as I am still trying to find a hidden bridge around Braemar golf course. Didnβt spend to much time looking but I think I know where to look next time.

How could I pass up a chance to run with my youngest at her fun run.

All night she kept telling my wife the it would be fun because it was a βfun runβ it says fun. After the run she is questioning the fun part of it π ππ»ββοΈ
After the strange weather day we had I stepped out to run and it started sleeting so I gave it 5 min and thankfully it stopped. Glad I didnβt scrap as it was a much needed break after this week and caught the sun setting. ππ»ββοΈ

Another beautiful day to see the fall colors. Wasnβt the plan to get out today but glad I did. πππ»ββοΈ
Update: It has been rainy and cloudy since I finished my run π.
Passing the time running while my girls are at dance tonight. I am not sure where this change in weather came from but it was warmer and windier than expected. ππ»ββοΈ
These Fall days… I just wish this picture turned out like how I actually saw it with all the colors. However, this is what gets me out there.
After a couple days off I decided to put a couple miles in while my youngest was at her piano lesson. I was in no hurry and enjoyed the scenery. I wasnβt feeling bad before and still good after but my legs were doing some talking during this run.

Another Twin Cities Marathon in the books. Overall, I am happy with my time as I wasnβt slower than last year even though it was an interesting training cycle. Official time 3:38:48

Done and still smiling for some reason

Time to have some βfunβ ππ»ββοΈ

Most likely the last run till Sunday. Not sure why my hip started giving me some pain during the last half mile but hope it was just a fluke.
