Next time you are there go out for a run. Harriet, Calhoun, Lake of the Isles are all connected. If you hit each lake twice you can get yourself a nice half marathon in.guestT wrote:That's a nice area. I've never ran around there but my wife is obsessed with Tilia restaurant and my daughter loves that bookstore with all the animals running around inside, so we end up there 3-4 times/year.Strat wrote:im sure at some point! God i miss running around Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis.guestT wrote:Strat wrote:Lol.guestT wrote:Congrats, verb. The stars aligned for you. Rob's injured, I'm recovering, r2d's off-seasoning, wm's retired from running, strat's making sure his accessory game is on point before he goes for that first jog...it was your time to shine.
Ive got 3 jogs under my belt for the past 6 days. Ill take it! Hopefully go again today and hoping, just maybe, that it wont be fucking awful anymore.It gets better...

REI's having a big sale this weekend. Should I get a Fenix 5 if I can get it for ~350?

I really need a new watch. My old forerunner has a broken back button.

Re: The Running Thread
My 11 year old just ran a 6:24 mile at the end of year 5th grade track and field day. He went out too fast and it cost him in the last 150 meters as he went from 2nd to 4th (a 2 second gap). The winning kid was a little Mighty Mouse and ran it in 6:02.
