Almost perfect early morning reflection (April 2019, Round Lake, Eden Prairie) - Original
Found an observation deck on my run this morning by the lake. Not a bad view from the top but a little windy… 🏃♂️
CAUTION! Rough road ahead. Note this is in town and helps sum up the winter we had… My pace biker even with the obstacles is too fast for me these days. #🏃♂️
Amazing the difference 26 hours looks like… Not to mention “No School Snow Storms” can stop me from getting outside… 🌅🏃♂️🌨🌬

Nothing beats a sunset run where you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere but you are really in town. (Edenbrook Conservation Area, Eden Prairie, April 2019)
Mornings really are a great time to get outside… 🏃♂️

So glad to get off the paved streets tonight until I noticed various parts of my trail were underwater and muddy… Oh well, a little water and mud doesn’t hurt anyone. 🏃♂️
Running with Ryan Van Duzer
As you can probably tell from other things I post about on Social Media or this site, I really do enjoy running. It is something that got lost on me for a long period of time in my life but has really made its way back into my daily routine over the last three of years Back to Running.
So you can only imagine that when I ran across this new YouTube video series by Ryan Van Duzer called Running with Ryan, you can bet I stopped what I was doing to watch this first episode.
Let’s just say it didn’t disappoint as his first guest was Scott and Jenny Jurek who were talking about their record-setting run on the Appalachian Trail as well as the value of doing hard things. Also, they touch on Scott and Jenny’s book called North as the paperback is coming out soon. However, you can buy the Kindle, Hardback or Audio-book version right now from Amazon. This has been on my want list for a while so after watching this I got the audio version as they said it is narrated by Scott and Jenny. I always find it interesting listening to audio-books that are narrated by the authors.
I would suggest you check out the first video in the Running with Ryan series and if you are like me I am sure you can’t wait till the next one comes out.
Hope you enjoyed the video and be sure to help spread the word of this new series by sharing Ryan’s video as he does some amazing work. Another thing to note from the video that dawned on me again while writing this is during this whole run Ryan had to run while holding a camera. I know I commented on it before when he ran in the Caballo Blanco race, but it is still an amazing feat to hold it steady enough to get the shot and make sure everyone is in focus while running. Which for some people is hard enough already.
Finally, be sure to check out Scott and Jenny Jurek’s website as well as I am sure they will be up to more adventure in the near future.

Enjoying the beautiful evening run with a blue sky and sun at 6pm in the evening. I could get used to this time change (March 2019, Eden Prairie)

Glad to have the sun coming up earlier in the mornings these days. I appreciate the sunrise runs vs flashlight ones (March 2019, Minnesota)

So I guess I shouldn’t plan on running tomorrow morning… 🤔🏃♂️🥶
Guess this morning it was a heat wave at -8F 😂
There is something calming about being outside in the early morning with a little dusting of fresh snow on the ground… 🏃♂️
Can’t believe just a couple days ago I had a frozen face and today I was running in shorts. Also, found a new trail to run on or I think it was a trail. If not I was the strange guy running through people’s backyards 🤷♂️ 🏃♂️
Nothing beats a nice-looking sunrise… 🏃♂️
