9.53 mi. in Eden Prairie

Yesterday was busy with Emma's birthday, so as I've often done before in such cases, I postponed my weekend long run to Sunday. Which is usually spent at my mother-in-law's house, so that has me running in Eden Prairie.

It was a decent day; mostly overcast and warmer temps but breezy, so it didn't feel particularly warm. I actually wore a hat most of the run, it felt that cool.

12 Miles

First time back along the creek for this season. The 35W bridge rebuild over Minnehaha Creek necessitates a detour via Diamond Lake Road. At least, I think it does— it looked like I might have been able to run under 35W today, but I guess I didn't think I should be there.

Nice run. Felt great, and I could have done it faster. Strange that I clocked in at exactly 2 hours, as I was not using my Polar watch...or any watch, for that matter.

San Diego 2

Wow, this was pretty slow! Must have been due to it being a last-minute jog at 6:00 am, after waking up *really* early this morning. Still, a nice morning— watched a cruise ship depart— even if my pace was a bit lazy.

San Diego

Talk about a lucky day. I didn't run yesterday due to a busy schedule, so thought that because I was arriving in San Diego early (for a conference), I would have the time...plus it would hopefully be nice weather.

Not only did I get moved to a direct flight that got me here two hours earlier, it was nearly 70° and sunny!

Fabulous running day, and almost got 8 miles in.
