Running
First time running along a beach for most of the run. It was fun but I did get a little too close tempting the water and soaked a foot ππ»ββοΈ

ran all the way out to the end of that peninsula

and now back
Thankful for the quiet mornings on this trip when the kids have all been sleeping in after late nights. Donβt mind me I am just sitting here drinking my coffee after a nice trail run this morning πβοΈ

It was a beautiful cool morning today to get a small run in. The roots from trees on this route kept me looking down a lot but still saw some good sights. Till the trail wasnβt the trail anymore π€¦ββοΈππ»ββοΈ


Didnβt really want to get up and move today. However, this was the only time I was going to find to run so it was a now or not going to happen. Maybe my effort shows that too but at least it was nice out this morning.
With this heat I am thinking I need to get up earlier to get my miles in. However, it was still pretty warm out at this hour too. π΄π₯΅ππ»ββοΈ

Happy Fatherβs Day run. I explored more of Waconia today and found some new trails and couldnβt find others I had hoped to find. ππ»ββοΈ

Had to follow Doodlebug trailπΆ
Looks calm but I tell you what it was hot, humid, and windy out there today. I probably should have woke up earlier today to get this done. ππ»ββοΈ

Wasnβt feeling it today but glad to get some miles in as it was cooler than the prior days. ππ»ββοΈ
I meant to run much earlier today to avoid some of the heat and humidity but didnβt and was right in the thick of it. If the sun would have stayed behind the clouds that might have helped as well. π₯΅
Felt like I was swimming out there today with the humidity and heat. I did find a new place I have run by often but never down the road to see the water. Maybe because it was downhill and I knew I have to run back up later π.

Most likely the last run in this area till fall when my girls are back at dance. I enjoyed this small loop I found that is right around 400 meters. It is a good way to pass the time towards the end of my run that is close to the studio. ππ»ββοΈ
New place to run but my legs were not ready for the rough terrain and up and down of these trails. However, some of the scenery might have made it worth while. ππ»ββοΈ



As unplanned days go this was another unplanned run but it was nice out and I had good company for it. Thankful he waited an extra 15 min as I realized I forgot my shoes. π€¦ββοΈ ππ»ββοΈ
Today’s unplanned run was powered before and after by Caseyβs pizza. Probably not the best choice for before but then again I wasnβt shooting to run so far today. However, I was asked and well how could turn down running with a friend. ππ»ββοΈ
This was the post run pizza. π
Ummmβ¦ that is not what I wanted to happen Xfinity. Now it makes sense when I looked at my phone during the middle of my run and it said activation failed and I had no service ππ€¬
Just beautiful outside today. Blue skies, a breeze, and the temps sitting at around 60Β°F. Couldnβt pass this up on a Friday morning and am thankful that my schedule was wide open so I could run a little longer than planned. ππ»ββοΈ
