New Coffee day! 🥳 ☕

Excited to try the second and last pack I got from Terminal.shop

To continue with the shocked day my daughter wanted to ride back home after riding all the way out to my parents house this morning. We stayed there for some swimming and then had lunch. Even after that she still wanted to ride back home so we did. Honestly, I am super proud of her for wanting to do it and I really enjoyed our time together.

I am still in shock that my daughter really was game to ride her bike all the way from our house to my parents house. Put in 14 miles this morning and now she is swimming in their community pool. 😱

A child wearing a helmet stands with a bicycle in front of a graffiti-covered tunnel entrance with the words “Paisley Park” and “Prince”. A green, wooded area is visible through the tunnel.

A man wearing a helmet and sunglasses is riding a bicycle and smiling on a forested dirt trail, followed by two more cyclists. Green trees line the path closely on both sides.

Thankful for the overcast skies today but it was still humid as can be out and I was drenched at the end. Glad to get these miles done even though I am still not sure what the build up of miles will be for yet.

Rainy miles this morning. I am glad I decided to not pull my long run in today and will wait till tomorrow.

Dense green vegetation fills the foreground, leading to a field of tall grasses, with a line of trees in the background under an overcast sky.

After lots of walking and driving yesterday this run was needed I thought. However, my legs didn’t agree.

A dirt path extends forward, surrounded by dense, green foliage, and tall trees in a forested area. The pathway is empty, leading into a bright clearing in the distance.

This was a fun unplanned exploring run today. We ended up on a road I had been meaning to find in Eden Prairie that is now closed for years and also we were around the Ghost town of Hennepin Village.

Dense green foliage and grass thrive under direct sunlight in a woodland clearing, with lush trees framing the scene against a clear blue sky.

A metal gate blocks a dirt path surrounded by dense, green forest. A sign reads, “Road/Trail Closed to the Public Pedestrians and Motor Vehicles. Guess I am glad we ran from the bottoms up to this sign as I can say I didn’t know.

Long day but got some miles in before doing some other house projects tonight. I took to some trails and found some hills as well.

Really was a nice cool morning for a run. So I decided to get to what the original thought of miles were vs what I was setting as a bare minimum before I went to bed last night as it has been a busy last 36 hrs with the guests at our campsite.

Still water reflects the clear blue sky with some wispy clouds, surrounded by distant greenery along the horizon.

This one took work to get out and want to run today but this the next few days I am thinking I won’t find time. So the plan was just to get some millage in but ended up with what I probably hoped for on these tired legs. I will say I was thankful for a very entertaining podcast and their guests to keep me moving.

Got out early to run this morning to enjoy the cool weather. My legs didn’t enjoy it as much as I did but that is ok I wasn’t in a rush.

Sun sets over a tranquil lake, with orange and yellow hues lighting up the sky, surrounded by silhouetted trees and grassy fields reflecting the colorful twilight.

It was good to get out after work today for a run but maybe eating dinner first wasn’t my best idea.

Trees frame a lush green field with tall grass, while the sun sets, casting a warm glow on the horizon, creating a serene, tranquil atmosphere.

Decided to make a fire tonight at the camper. It was nice and sat out for a while with the dog until the wet wood won out and we headed back inside to watch the Olympics. A circular firepit with moose and tree silhouettes holds burning logs, dispersing warm light in the dark.

Nothing like a new Coffee day to kick start the day. I was pleasantly surprised as I really enjoyed this segfault medium roast from Terminal.Shop. ☕️

The plan was 6 but ended up with 10 miles this morning. It rained a little but that really didn’t matter I was soaked at the end anyway.

A gravel path extends forward, surrounded by dense green foliage and trees arching overhead, creating a serene, forested tunnel-like environment.

Was hoping there was rain in those clouds on this run this morning but no luck. So just hot and humid again.

A calm lake reflecting a partly cloudy sky is surrounded by lush green grass, tall reeds, and dense forest stretching into the distance.

I think the dewme.app nailed this on this runand matches this pond… “86°F ☀️ Dew pt.: 70°F | RunFeel™: (4/10) stifling 🤢.”  Glad it got the miles in but you could tell when the heat hit me.

A pond sits still, covered in green algae, surrounded by dense, leafy trees under a clear blue sky, with plants in the foreground.

Fresh homemade salsa…

Chopped vegetables (tomatoes, onions, peppers) sit inside a transparent food processor bowl on a dark marbled countertop in a kitchen setting.

I love that this lake really has a trail all the way around it. A good distance of ~4.3 miles the only real unfortunate part is if you are trying to avoid sun you almost can’t but it is ok I will take the sun to enjoy the view. I guess to nitpick more, a round mile number would be nice.

A still lake lies beneath a clear blue sky, with a distant treeline forming the horizon.

Today was a  run in search of trails to run on and I think I chose a good trail to go ramble on this morning. Felt good enough to complete this run but probably could have been better if I would have gotten better sleep last night. Though glad to get this done as I think we are going to have a real warm one today.
