My race was canceled this morning due to inclement weather. I waited until the worst of it was over and went out on my own run.

Unfortunately it was a bit humbling for me. I set out for 6, decided to do 7 about halfway through, and then suddenly hit the wall at 5. I made it a third of a mile further before I gave up and walked home.

I know there were a number of things working against me on this run (high humidity, warmer temps, dehydration, and shark week), but I’m still disappointed. Oh well, they can’t all be great I guess.

3.5 miles after work. The temp was pretty warm compared to what it is on my morning runs, so I took it a little slower and decided to cut it half a mile short. I’ll get used to the heat eventually.

In better news, I FINALLY found earbuds that don’t fall out! They are called Yurbuds I think and they are probably my new favorite material possession.

4 trail/road miles through a foggy bog this morning. It’s finally feeling like summer! I got to run in my new running skirt. It’s super comfortable and great for hot weather :)

Just over 3.5 miles this morning on a new loop I discovered. It’s mostly paved trail, but I still like it better than the road. Plus, it includes a couple challenging uphills.

Happy Monday!

“Ran” the Rave Run 5k with a girlfriend last night. She’s not a runner so we walked about 90% of it. It was still a fun event though.

Ran 6 trail miles this morning at an easy pace. Then hiked around the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum with the ladies in my family as a sort of Mother’s Day celebration for my grandma.

Finished the afternoon in a pile of 4 week old golden retriever puppies! I was in puppy heaven.

Great day so far, but it’s time for a nap :)

5 trail miles for cinco de mayo! At one point a goose was guarding part of the path right where I turn around. My first time passing him, he let me go with a warning hiss. But when I tried to come back he was not having it! He hissed and fluffed his wings until I turned around. I ended up taking the long way back, haha.

Spent the rest of the day drinking beer outside with my family. Happy Sunday!

It’s race day! Gotta love this beautiful spring weather.

I didn’t want to run this morning and I didn’t want to run after work either. But after an episode of Gossip Girl (what is wrong with me?) and half a corona, I decided to get out for at least one mile. I ended up running 4.

I’m happy I actually got out there! I was super close to spending the whole night in bed.
