Sunday Walk on Ice

10 am in Minneapolis.

Overcast 5 degrees F.

Wind chill -5 F.

Long walk on frozen lakes with the Mr.

Made way to the island in the middle of Lake of the Isles.

To the mysterious pyramid beneath the bridge.

And the channel to Lake Calhoun.

To the snow covered beach.

Met on the way:

Cross country skiers (on ice).

Ice fisherpeople.

A dog sledder.

Upper quads a little tight after many careful steps on slippery surface.

Solo 10K tomorrow.

Running with Mr. and Camera

9:30 AM in Minneapolis.

Sunny 13 degrees F.

Weekend run with the Mr.

My fast 5K = his regular run.

Spotted strange objects around Lake of the Isles previously. Wanted to capture.

Camera battery freezes after 3 photos.

Rest Day

No running today.

Body feels dull from chiropractic adjustments. Should be better tomorrow.

Body also feels hungry. Must not have eaten enough yesterday. Shouldn't have cheated on dinner with champagne and popcorn.

Note to self: Eat Real Meals.

Especially to run the first marathon this year.

Temp: 4 F

Wind chill: -15 F

A much needed long(ish) run. Lake of the Isles and Calhoun - roughly 6 miles.

Quads a bit tight. Hips back to normal from a fall 2 days ago.

Eyelashes freeze. Face remains cold. Fingers OK but backs of hands cold.

Sunny. Snow and sun very bright. Must find goggles at mom's.

Path between the lakes covered with sheets of ice. Yaktrax on mind again.

A big runner's high after the run - funny - when stretching.
