Sunday 5 miler

I am stuck on 5 miles which is running to my mother-in-laws and back. It is a good route since there are not any houses with other dogs on the way. It was about 80 today with a slight breeze. It felt hot compared to all previous runs this year. I will try to run every other day this month to get ready for the races in July.

Friday afternoon run

I ran earlier than usual today as I left work on a slow Friday. I ran 5 miles in 37.36. I felt good. Maggie stayed with me and Minnie lagged behind as usual. I will probably run a bit on Sunday as the boys have a baseball tourney tomorrow.

Wednesday 800's

I ran 800's again tonight. Beautiful night for running. Times are as follows. 3.44, 2.57, 4.09, 2.51, 4.12, 2.50, 3.56, 3.13, 4.00, 3.05. I left the dogs at home as it was getting toward dusk and that's when the coyotes come out to play. I found my times for the 2 5k's from the duathlon. Both were personal records. 19:27 and 19:30. The 800's are paying off.

Easy Monday

I ran an easy 5 miles in 39:15. Legs were a bit stiff from the long run on saturday. Felt better after the run tonight. Looks like some regular training until the 10k on July 4th. Maggie and Minnie were happy to get back on the road, and play in the mud. Looks like I have team mates for the Prairie Rose games triathlon. Joanne who biked with me in the Duathlon, and Hannah a swimmer from Grand Forks. That should be fun!

Red River Runner Saturday

I met up with the running group south of 32nd on the bike path. We ran to the Lincoln park entrance and I met up with Barb and Craig. We ran north to the walking brigde and then back south to the initial meeting point. In all about 12.5 miles. I have no idea of the time but Barb said we were running about 8 min miles

Wednesday 800's

I ran my 800's tonight. Times as follows: 3:54, 2:54, 4:11, 2:58, 4:09, 2:50, 4:11, 3:25, 4:34, 3:16. As you may guess the first 5 are with the wind and last are against. I think these 800's are helping improve my short race times. I may take a couple of days off and run a longer run on Saturday.
Friday we have the Relay for Life at University park. Ellen and Rosebud will be at the Herald tent and walking in the survivors walk.

Monday Short run

Ran about 4 miles in 30 min tonight with the dogs. I heard the coyotes howling so we tried to stay away from them. Once in a while they will come and try to lure one of the dogs out into the woods.
I did not get the times on my 5k's yet. I will post them when possible. I did get $25 for the win. that is the first time I have earned money for running.
I don't have any races this month as yet. July will be busy with the Firecracker 10k, Prairie Rose games and a number of small town celebrations.
