So I have officially started running again. I decided to just start marathon training even though I do not have an official marathon in mind. I got my 2nd “Dear John” from New York, Chicago and MCM are closed, and Dublin is a “no go”….What to run??? Tomato suggested Amsterdam and I’m actually considering it except that it might get a little tricky getting back in time for the U2 show. Hmmm…still looking….
Anyway, did my 1st run since the Minneapolis Marathon on Monday evening. Started at around 10:30pm simply because it was too darn hot all day. We’ve been hovering at around 100F all week long. I ran at Woodlawn Lake Park and Pita came along. She walked while I ran. We finished at around 11pm and as we headed to the car we noticed the ice cream truck was still parked in the parking lot and there was a line of kids waiting to buy some!!! I know it sounds crazy to be out and about running that late, but during the summer it’s actually quite normal. Most people don’t start showing up at the park until after 8pm when the sun starts to go down. Everyone is out…runners, walkers, families, kids playing basketball, the tennis courts are all taken, everyone is out walking their pets…it’s actually pretty safe. Anyway, felt really good afterwards.
