AM: 3.25 mile jog around the neighborhood and then a 3.25 mile walk with Andy around Sugar House Park. All I had time for this morning.

Missed running Grandma's today. Next year maybe.

Check out Blake's race report today.

PM: I got interrupted during my morning run by parent stuff so I tried to get in a few miles this afternoom. Fail! Ran one 100 degree lap around Liberty Park and quit feeling like a sluggish turd. I did manage a few high quality strides at the end so that's something.

Tomorrow morning I'm going up to Jeremy Ranch at 6 am. The kids can stare at the screens on their devices all morning and let their brains rot.

It looks like temp was around 50 degrees in Duluth this morning. Pretty amazing for late June.

I really liked Grandma's last year. The race is staged and executed very well, but it also has a low-key and personal kind of feel. I want to try to make it back again too.

Yep, and it usually works well for me because my wife was born in Duluth and has lots of family nearby. I've done the half three of the last four years. I really love it.

I ran Gma's during a streak of hot temps in 2006-2008. One was a black flag day with people dropping like flies. I just remember hearing ambulance sirens and hitting every sprinkler.

I'd like to run it again. Great atmosphere.

Miss that place. But I miss Rutgers more. Amber qualified today running a 2:41.
