Mission Accomplished

I completed my running of every street this morning with a 4.8 mile run to the western edge of the city. It ended up being a total of 90.4 miles this year.

Thanks to the generous donations of many, Living Hope will receive $880. I will be contacting those of you who pledged soon. It's not to late if you'd like to make a last minute donation.

Next up is the Malung Mustang 5K in two weeks:

We're Getting Close!

I'm almost done with every street in Roseau. Only two more long runs - one run to the extreme west of town and one to the southwest corner. Stay tuned.

On Saturday the Yellow Rose 5K was held in Warroad. Here I am being passed by a little girl at the end:

This isn't the first time a little girl has passed me at the end of a race. How humbling! Notice the time: 31:00. I can't seem to break 30 minutes this year. There's another race coming up in Malung next month. I have a three point strategy to break 30 minutes:
1. Lose some more weight
2. Train at shorter distances at a faster pace
3. Run the first mile of the race at a faster pace

I never thought breaking 30 minutes would be a big deal, but this year it is.
