Thursday run

I ran in the mud, rain, wind, cold 38F this afternoon after Ann got home. About one half mile into the run I put my hood up and one of my lenses came out of my glasses. I had to stop and look for it in the driving rain for about 10 minutes. It is hard to see with one foggy lens in the rain. I did finally find it and finished my shortened run of about 3.1 miles in 23 minutes. I think I will run again tomorrow 3-4 miles if the weather is not horrible.

Tuesday Run

I ran the regular route tonight with Maggie and Minnie. We did not see any wildlife tonight just 3 combines, 1 tractor , 2 trucks, 2 pickups. The dogs and I were trying to stay out of the way. Finished the 5 mile route in about 36:25. The wind was about 20mph but a crosswind from the south.

More Wildlife Sunday

I did not have time to run on my regularly scheduled Saturday run. I ran Sunday 6 miles in about 45:30. About half way through two coyotes joined us and played a game of hide and seek with Maggie and Minnie. The dogs think it is a big game but I think the coyotes are looking for a meal. So far I think they are a bit of afraid of trying to take on both of them. Me following also makes them a bit nervous I think. After a bit the dogs came out of the sunflower field and we went happily on our way.

Thursday run

I was able to run with my newer shoes. The road was relatively dry. Ran 5 miles in about 36:50. It was cool and calm. Felt good but my heels have been a bit sore lately. I'll have to start the icing and exercises for PF. Dogs ran right by a badger. I'm glad they did not see it they would have had their paws full with him.

Tuesday Mud

Another run, another run with old shoes. It was rainy, muddy but not too cold. The dogs chased up a deer and had fun running after her. She was much too fast for them, they gave up the chase soon after it started. They would have no idea what to do even if the caught her. Hoping for a dry Thursday.

Sunday run

I ran the traditional 5 mile route with the dogs. Finished in 36:30. I usually run 5 miles because it is the only route I can go and not run into another farm with dogs. Very nice day today. Windy but a cross wind.

Wed and Fri run

I ran Wednesday in the snow and slop with the dogs. We ran our traditional 5 miles in about 38 min. We were all a sloppy mess when we arrived home. Friday I ran after supper in Larimore. It was dark so I did not take the dogs. It was a nice run but shorter 4.2 in about 30:00min. The effects of my cold are still with me as I don't feel I have any energy. I will run again today, Sunday maybe after the Vikings game.

Cold but Calm

Much better night for a run tonight. It was about 32 but calm. The dogs and I went for a 5 miler. Finished in aboout 35:35. My cold is getting better. It was much easier to breath tonight.

Cold October Saturday

I was thinking about running 8 miles until I turned around into a 25mph gusting to 35mph northwest wind at 32F. I changed it to about 6.2 in around 47:30 not bad considering the conditions and my cold. Not a pretty run. But, as always, the dogs had fun. So Monday check in to see what condition my condition is in.

Recovering from a cold

I have not run much this week as I developed a bad cold and have felt pretty crummy. I ran last night in the cold and wind and snow and sleet. The dogs needed to get out and so did I. It went well but I cut it short and did not push the distance. 4.2 miles at about 7:30 pace. I will try to do about 8 on Saturday as long as I'm feeling ok. Probably skip the Potato bowl 8k this year though.

Cold and a Cold

All that running in the wet, cold weather has given me a cold. I'll take a day of rest and run Wed.

Cold wet Sunday

I ran a cold, wet, muddy 5 miler with Maggie and Minnie. It was a good run in about 41 minutes. After the run we picked 100 pumpkins from our garden. Congrats to Andrew Knight on a great Twin Cities Marathon wiped out his PR.

I'm back

I am going to start the blog again. I ran 5 miles in the rain, mud and wind with Maggie and Minnie on Thursday. I will try to get out today. I may run the Potato Bowl 8k next Saturday. I will have to see what is going on that day. Thomas may have football but I might be able to sneak in and run before the game.
