Running
The weather seemed too good today to pass up a run after work. The weather was ok but I wasn’t feeling 100% and tried to find a couple hills along the way as I think my lack of miles lately is translating to lack of elevation gains.
Early run today was the plan to get some cooler weather. Today was one of those days I decided to add some miles but even when I finished I thought I had run 1 mile less but still was happy. Then I looked closer and realized I matched last weeks mid week long run.
Found some time today to get a run in. I was super thankful for the overcast sky to at least not have the sun with the heat and humidity. I might have to do a morning run tomorrow.
Woke up really early to get the swimmer off to swim in the first car. Then I sat in the camper debating if this run was going to happen. I probably missed a cooler time to complete it but I did end up adding a little bit to check out this old “camp” nearby.
Went back and forth in my mind this morning on whether or not this run was going to happen. Mostly with being more busy the next two days I felt I should get this done and due to again the heat. I didn’t wanna wait until this afternoon or evening.
Another humid day even during an early morning run. It seemed more like putting in the miles today but overall after a couple miles I just found a groove and stuck with it.
Going to be a long day of work and then “working” at the swim meet tonight so I had to get this done early. It was humid out there but at least the sun wasn’t shining yet today so that helped keep it a little cooler on my run.
I regretted my decision to run after I looped Round Lake. I then ran across this deer that I see had the right idea of sitting in the shade relaxing. In fact it was so relaxed that it didn’t move much as I ran by about 10 ft away.
If someone suggests running I always jump on board as it is nice to have company on a run. I wasn’t planning on running today but sometimes a little motivation or push helps which also probably lead to a faster pace than I would have done too.
Was just going to go for a shorter run today but after getting out there the kinks went away so I kept going not knowing if I would run this weekend.
Thankful for the odd starting point of this run as I found a fun new trail to run. I have mapped all of the “public” trail but looking back I think there is another connection I could have made.
The plan was to just circle the lake but I was feeling good so I found a place to add some miles. It might have been windy out but I will still take this cooler weather running any day of the week.
Decided to get a run in before the day got too far along by doing a tour around Waseca. Really couldn’t beat the weather and I was feeling good.
I guess the sign was actually correct today by saying the Trail was underwater. By the time I ran across the sign and then into this bypass I was of at a path of no return in having to backtrack quite a bit. Normally I would power though and just get my feet soaked but i decided against it today.
Probably not the smartest of decisions running on some of the trails and maybe in general with my bum eye. Not to mention it was hot but it did feel good to get moving again.
After a super late night chatting with some old high school friends I decided to get a short runin. I was shocked at how hot and humid it was already I enjoyed my stroll around a small part of Ames.
Explored some new areas on my run today. After the warmer humid weather lately it was nice to have a cooler overcast morning today.
This run wasn’t going to happen today if it didn’t happen when it did. However, it was already 72°F out with 86% humidity and I am guessing if the sun keeps staying out today it is only going to get worse.
