Training Log Archive: O Steve!

Willow River O....not my best result but it could have been worse....a bit ragged on the front end but the mistakes were quick and I managed to keep clicking along till #12 and #13 where I had to relocate twice on unforgving terrain and bled to much time....

I thought it was a great varied course with lots of variety and most of it in pretty open areas...

Red - Splits

Kari and I (along with Syd in the stroller) decided to get out in the Fall colors and get a longer run in...we went up to Maple Grove to do some of the Medicine Lake trail....did a loop skirting Rice Lake and then out and back towards Fish Lake Park....a total of about 9 miles.....I might actually be decently trained for my Halloween 10 mile race I am doing next month...as well as the Minnegoat.....

...per usual my legs were hurting towards the end while Kari was doing fine...ran easy at 124 HR avg but my legs did the usual stiffen up thing....again, not exactly the best thing to do with the O meet tomorrow where I am planning to run red at Willow River but I am more focused on getting in some hours and prepping for the Minnegoat and the 10 mile race at the end of October...

C • 10 mile 3

unlogged walk of over 2 hours with Syd and Kari........found $60 lying on the sidewalk!!!!.....we wanted to figure out a way to try and determine who may of lost it but could not think of a way......3, $20's folded together....someone must have taken something out of their pocket and the bills came out with it....

C • Money 2

drop off the car to be worked on and ran home.....

Run back to the auto repair shop to pick up the car.....

jumped on the bikes with the threat of rain hanging over the cities...I figured I would get a workout in before the predicted constant rain....also wanted to get out in the Fall woods with the color just beginning.....

I took unofficial single track up to the Wirth mt bike trails where I did two loops and then took more trails back home....(22:42/21:40 on loops)...the plan was to run a loop of Medicine Lake when Kari got home but I could tell the weather would not hold so I made a choice to stay out and ride a bit longer in an effort to get some training hours in........I finished up in the spitting rain but the ride was alot of fun in the cool Fall temps....
