Roseau ALS 5K
Sometimes it all goes according to plan... I came into today's race with the goal of less than 29 minutes. The weather was perfect for a 5K - mid-60s. A little wind but not too much...

Red, White, and Boom!
A few weeks ago, an opportunity presented itself for Alyssa and I to run a 5K together - the Red, White & Boom Hot Dam! 5K near Nicollet Island. We persuaded Alyssa's fiance, Frank and my nephew's wife, Sara, to join us. Here we are just before the start of the race:
This is the most beautiful race I have ever run. We began on a cobblestone street:
The race crosses the Mississippi River twice. Here is the first bridge we crossed:
It then follows along a beautiful winding river road:
Alyssa and I set a modest goal of finishing in less than 30 minutes. After running together for much of the race, Alyssa found another gear with about a half mile to go. She was able to finish in less that 28 minutes. I felt pretty good about 29:13:
