I made use of some hard-earned Delta AMEX Air Miles to fly into Minneapolis by myself, to run a 10 mile trail race, A Run in The Woods. I used Lyft, stayed the Friday night in an Extended Stay America, and ticked off state number eight. I notched up 6th place overall, second in my age group, with a 1.18.55 time = 7.53 mile pace. Pretty good for my trail running. This was a lovely relaxed event, and the course looped around some beautiful lakes. There wasn’t much climbing, it was nice under foot, and it was really gorgeous weather. I also discovered ‘Lyle Lovett – If I Had a Boat’ – in the after event mini party.
