Meeting got done early and the boy was at basketball so I decided to get a run in. It wasn’t bad out today but better in the shade than the direct sun as I didn’t pack water. Was hoping this was a trail but it doesn’t look like it at all.

Really couldn’t beat this weather this morning at 50°F. So the lack of effect was not due to weather but I got these miles in before going to sit at a dance recital all day.

Ready to call it a day already. Weeded the flower / rock beds, sprayed the yard for bugs, vacuumed out my car, gave a dog a bath, and yelled at Best Buy Geek squad for the 3rd day in a row as no one knows anything 😖.

Little bit of a covered trail here. Not to mention the morning dew on this grass had me getting soaked as well as scraped up and full of seeds on my arms.

This happens too many times but never gets old when I wake up in the morning to go for a run, put my AirPods in only to find 1 of the 2 has battery 🪫😖

More trails tonight but this time around Braemar Golf Course in Edina again. I do enjoy the hidden trails that are less traveled but I am sure someday they will finish it off with this nice bridge sitting here in the weeds and overgrowth.

Trails! So many fun trails that the miles just kept flipping by tonight. I am definitely going to go exploring this way again. Also, was great to get a run in with my friend again.

Guess my shed “office” automation of all lights out at 10pm works pretty well as I am now trying to turn the lights back on…

This time of seasons is always depressing when you wake up at 5:30am to run and it feels like you are swimming. Also, looks that way after too.

Tracks and Trails… Run started with rain and then the morning sun came out and got steamy even at this early morning hour. I chose my starting and ending point strategically so I could get some donuts 🍩😉.

I was told it was National Donut Day today… Not that I really needed an excuse to go buy donuts but it is also my son’s Birthday so… I got a couple donuts 😁🍩

Warm quicker than I should have miles so I cut it short. However, I got to circle and see the setup of Schooner Days. I have lived here now for 14 years and have never gone to one. 🤨

Good shake out after a long Tuesday that felt like a Monday. Still warmer out than I would like as my body is not used to this yet but I slogged it out.

With it being 85°F outside today I was pleasantly surprised that the shed “office” stayed hovering around 70°F. I know the summer is just upon us but it has given me some hope that I might not have to upgrade my small AC unit yet and the insulation from last fall can get me through this summer. 🤞

Decided to make a quick run around Clear Lake today. Probably the first of many this year but wow was it warmer than anticipated today.

Camper yard mowed, fire going, chairs out, lights on and drink in hand (not pictured). Here is to the start of our 2023 Camping season with our new rig in it’s new spot (not as great as last year but lots of positives with the new rig).

What a beautiful morning today to go out for a run. Not to mention I stumbled upon a new little trail to explore which was most likely human created but might have been a deer trail that borders the conservation area.

😵‍💫 I seem to be down a rabbit hole of trying to to figure out the Strava API in conjunction with Apple Shortcuts. I think this is quite beyond my skills.

Beautiful day to spend on some of my favorite nearby trails. Typically I just cut through from one side of the conservatory to the other but today I decided to run all of the trails.

Of course I tried to take the deer trail that followed this stream. It was fun while it lasted which was about 100M and then the deer must have went though the water but I stopped and turned around. I preferred my feet to stay dry as I still had a couple more miles to go.
