Ran with Girls on the Run. Two more weeks until their 5K.

Ran with Kaylie. Her shins are feeling a little better.

They say that North Dakota has the cleanest air. Not today. The farmers have been burning for a week. They are burning all the flood debris off their fields so we have a constant haze. All the haze makes for a pretty sunset. 

 After reevaluating our training and our schedule we have decided to run the 1/2 for Fargo. We registered for the Twin Cities Marathon on Oct. 3. I've heard the course is beautiful and we have never run it before. I am going to try to qualify there. Summer training is so much easier. The Twin Cities is run on Sunday, so it won't interfere with cross country. 

Ran the closest thing we have to a trail. The section line between 2 farm fields. First time I have been able to run it since last summer. It was finally dry enough and fairly free of tractor tire ruts. :) Temp was to warm for Bayly to come with. This spring has been so wonderful. We have not had a warm spring in 5 or 6 years. The smell of dirt and lawn clippings fill the air, and it is not even May yet!

Busy day. Outside clean up at church, home for awhile. Treadmill at 8:34-8:00 min. pace. Back to church for date night. Lots of fun, good pizza and Ron and I won the Not So Newlywed game. :)

Great day! It rained a little and settled the dust and everything is so green. No one can remember when the last time the trees were this leafy in April. We usually have to wait until at least the middle of May. Farmers are way ahead of schedule. I love the smell of dirt!
