Well I'm back from Two Harbors and am getting caught up on everything before going back to work Monday. A quick note ** Kare 11 is doing a story on Team in Training and so Monday, June 18th I'll be at Calhoun Executive Center along with some of the other participants and might end up on TV!
While I was gone I still kept up with the training program and actually exceeded the mileage scheduled for my long run. Monday and Tuesday I ran from our lodge to Gooseberry Falls, which averaged between 3 to 4 miles. Then on Wednesday I ran from Split Rock Lighthouse down to Gooseberry Falls (where I met up with the van and got a ride back to the lodge) so even though I was only scheduled for 5 miles, I ended up doing about 7 -- and it only took about an hour! It was a beautiful run along Hwy 61 with Lake Superior on my left. The other great thing was that the temperature wasn't as hot as it was in the cities and there was a nice breeze coming off the lake.
Yesterday I did about 30 minutes of cross training on the bike and then tonight I will be running 3 miles with a friend. Tomorrow is another long run (9 miles) with the group at Lake Nokomis. I'm not sure how many people will be there since a number of my team mates are running Grandma's Marathon today.
Also, the fundraising is going pretty well -- I'm almost halfway to my goal! Thanks again to everyone for their support!
