There was a little delay in the start of our run on Sunday, Ryan was delayed in traffic. So I had some time on my hands while I waited in South Minneapolis so I got a hooker and some blow waited patiently in my car. Once he got there, we waited a little longer for the rain to let up. There was also tornado's reported in the area, so we headed out with reckless abandon cautiously.

The pic above is a pic I took last year. It's the same area we ran on Sunday, but it was raining at the time I had this view on the way out.

| I kind of surprised Ryan with this pic. |
After about 5 miles, the hard rain stopped, but then it got warm and muggy. Up ahead in the pic below was one of a few of the functioning water fountains.

The clouds cleared out and it was actually a nice end to the run. We logged 13 miles in 2:07, but it was just nice to talk and BS with my buddy for a few hours.
The family and I are going camping this weekend and I'll take another crack at running 20 miles. After this weekend, only 3 weeks until Grandma's marathon. Also after this weekend, I'll share my goals for the marathon!

That looked like a great run! Nothing wrong with 13 in 2:07. Nothing at all!
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right. 2:07 is nothing to sneeze at and doing it with a friend I've known (literally)all my life made it even more awesome (or awesomer, which ever it is).
ReplyDeletebahahaha...wetty...i'm using that.
