Short-Term Running Goals:

-Find some good local races to run that will motivate me to stay in shape.

Long-Term Running Goals:

-Run a few fast marathons. Grandma's, St. George, and Boston are on my target list. 

-Stay fit for a very long time. I believe what goes into making a competitive runner at age 60 is much different than age 20, just like what goes into making a good marathoner differs from a good sprinter. I hope that by taking care of my body, I can be very fast for my age as I get older. 

 

Personal:

Ran to Como park with my wife (on bike) and girls. She really enjoyed it. I'm glad she got to experience that route.

I think this was actually Monday, and I think it was farmers fields.

Estimating distance as map my run didn't seem reliable (it said I went further than I thought!) Nice run in Cable, Wisconsin.

Another run in Cable. The hills here sure keep you from going into autopilot. Very beautiful though. So many trees and hardly any cars so I can just run on the road.

Ran (estimated) four miles pushing the girls in the stroller, then six on my own. Felt exhausted pushing the stroller, maybe due to soreness from kayaking. Could probably lube the wheels too. One of the things I'll most most about running here is how good it smells.

Certainly one of the most memorable LRs I have done. One thing I've learned is that you can map out a new route and see the satellite but the real thing will always be different than you expected. The low today was 69 and I've been getting like 6 hours of sleep a night, so I didn't feel any motivation to make this more than a long slog. That being said, it was a great blessing that my girls really slept in so I was able to go early. I ran through the Lino Lakes / Lexington / Blaina area, including a cool wetland boardwalk, some parks, and some cool lakes that looked artificial in an area of wealthy new homes. The sun was never beating on me, but on the way back, the clouds became very very dark. Like the street lights went on again. It was the most interesting thing. Very much enjoyed it. I got rained on once briefly and then again harder at the end. Overall a really cool place,  it the mosquitos seem worse here than elsewhere. 6:05 pace overall, 6:00 coming back.
