Mill City Museum.

After taking a week off due to sore knees, I resumed running today and was happy to break 400 miles for the year. A gold medal day indeed.

Riverview Tower.

I run by this condominium tower quite often, but have never bothered to stop at its base and look up. This is often my favorite view of tall buildings, which proved to be true with this one.

Looking inside the new TCF Bank Stadium.

An unusually brutal run; I didn't realize it was so humid until about halfway through the route. Felt very sluggish in these conditions. Looking forward to cooler fall running after a day like this!

A stone wall; part of the new 35W bridge.

An interesting detail. This will look very nice once the vines have matured.

The U's new football palace.

Today I thought I should check out the new stadium on foot. It's quite a monument to football. Are the Gophers able to meet everyone's expectations in light of the excitement surrounding this new facility? Time will tell...
