Running
Was not expecting rain this morning so took to the covered trails… πββοΈ

It was a hot one this morning with 95% humidity but I can’t complain too much as I enjoyed the sunrise… πββοΈ
Was a hot run this afternoon in the Prairie as there was no breeze and lots of humidity. Thankful for the scenery as I think my body has been spoiled with the cooler weather… πββοΈ

From The Lens - Summer Sunset

Trail running is always my favorite but I enjoyed the company on this Father’s day run even more. I might need to get her a better bike if we keep this up. (June 2019, Eden Prairie)

Enjoying the new scenery on an early evening run that was a lot harder than I anticipated (June 2019, Richard T. Anderson Conservatory, Eden Prairie)

Calm morning after an evening and night of rain. Great morning to be out running for #GlobalRunningDay πββοΈ

Wash out! What a beautiful weekend it was to be outside and I really can’t thank my amazing wife @aprilgottwalker enough for letting me go running as I know there were probably 1000 other things to do. I appreciate all she does and am thankful she let me carve out a little time to run. πββοΈ

Wet morning for a 5k run today but for a good cause. I don’t even remember the last time I actually ran a real race so I was happy enough with 22:12. Rain must have scared people away as I took 10th place overall and 1st in my old age bracket ππββοΈ


Last morning in China as I fly out tonight so my last morning of exploring the streets. It still seems strange to find all of these little paths like this that are right around tall buildings and roads. However, when on them you feel like you could be anywhere and doesn’t feel like you are in a major city. πββοΈ

Random thought while running this morning… As crowded as it is in Shanghai China they still have found some way to make lots of bike lanes all over the city π€ (at least where I have been). Also, no one seems to be up early in the morning πββοΈ
