Tuesday night Running Group

I ran 6.24 miles with the TNRG. About 15 runners tonight. Finished with the Killer Kusler Krunches. Couple of kids staying overnight tonight so I won't get much sleep. Run short tomorrow and rest Thur and Fri for the Half Marathon on Sat.

Sunday Morning Run

The dogs were barking at 4:00, 5:00, 6:00am so I finally decided I should go for a run. I ran 10 miles at about 8min/mile pace. We then went to church and at cajun and jambalaya stuffed chicken. I at back the 1000 calories burned on the run I'm sure. Maybe some fishing at Turtle River park this afternoon.

Run and Run

I ran 3 miles on Thursday and Ran in the Larimore Days 10k on Saturday. I won the 10k with a time of 41:50 I have steadily slowed in the last 4 races meaning I may be getting tired. I will try some longer runs this week and run a 5k on Saturday at Northwood. Aug 1st is Cats Incredible half-marathon.

Wednesday Run

Well in my last entry we were going to an appointment for Ellen. They were unable to draw blood from her port at Altru so we went to Roger Maris in Fargo. After a couple of days of medicine to unclog the port they had to replace Ellen's port. She is quite sore and not happy about being at the hospital and clinic for that long. I ran when we got home Wed night around 9:00pm. I ran 8 miles and it felt good to relieve some stress time was 1hr 2min. May run a short run tonight or tomorrow and run the Larimore days 10k on Saturday morning.

Prairie Rose games races

I ran the 5k leg of the team triathlon on Saturday with Joanne and Hannah. Joanne and Hannah had awesome races and I had a personal best of about 19:10 in the 5k.
On Sunday I went to GF to run the Prairie Rose 10k. I ran a 41:40 was 5th overall and 1st in my age group. My legs were a little tired on Sunday but that is only about 30 sec off of my all time best so not bad. I will be going to Ellen's appt and some baseball tourneys early in the week and try to run a couple of day before the Larimore Days 10k next Saturday. The photo is Me, Joanne, Hannah after the Prairie Rose Triathlon.

Tuesday and Wednesday

I ran 7 miles on Tuesday in 51:56 and 5 miles Wednesday in 37:30 both felt pretty good my legs are a bit tired still I think from the 10k race in GF on the fourth. I am resting thursday and Friday to make sure I can run a fast 5k for the team Triathlon on Saturday. Baseball practice tonight.

Sunday night run

Thomas, Maggie, Minnie and I went on a 5 mile run. Time was 38:40. My legs were pretty tired from yesterday. I will try to run Tuesday and Wednesday and then rest Thursday and Friday for the Prairie Rose Team Triathlon. I don't want to let down my teamates.

Firecracker 10K

I forgot to mention the great job done by my sons Brendan and Thomas. Brendan was first in the 12 and under age group and Thomas was third. They just go out and run no training involved there. Youth is great!

Firecracker 10K

I won the men's division in the firecracker 10k. Time was 41:12. I went out in 6:12 but finished somewhere around 6:45, so I kind of died at the end. Oh well I guess that means more 800's in order to get to the 40:00 mark before the end of the summer. There was a great turnout and the Red River Runners were well represented with Stacy, Josh, Barb, David, Andrew all posting great times.

Wednesday Fun

I went to watch Ellen play T-ball, then I ran while the boys had baseball practice. I ran 5.1 miles in about 37 min. After practice we gathered all of the camping gear and headed over to Turtle River State Park. We wen on a 5 mile mountain bike ride. Did the usual camping stuff, ate smores, gathered around the camp fire, slept in the tent. (or at least we were in the tent not much sleeping going on). Home now it is my birthday, 46 years old. We will go to another baseball game and then rest up for the Firecracker 10k on Saturday.
