Running Every Street: Yellow Rose 2024

Yellow Rose 2024

Yesterday was the Yellow Rose 5K in Warroad. Five takeaways:

1. Let's start with the weather. It was just about perfect - low 50s with sunshine. Just a little wind. Great day to attempt a great time.

2. My plan was to start with a 10 min mile pace, increase to 9:50 pace for the second mile, and then all out for the last mile. This would be the first time in my life that I would increase my speed as I went. And everything went pretty much according to plan.

3. I crossed the finish line at 29:12. That's my best time in ten years! I was thrilled. I was able to take home a bronze medal. It sure feels good to be getting medals again.

4. Notice the orange shirts. Are we in the Netherlands?

5. Is coach Ironfist helping me? Based on the time, it would seem so. She's rewarding me with a 7 mile run tomorrow!

Streets of Hope

The Plan: Run all the streets of Roseau
The Purpose: To reach inner-city kids with the Gospel of Jesus Christ

I run for health. I run to train for 5Ks. And now, for the fourteenth year, I'm also running so kids from Northeast Minneapolis can go to camp, retreats, and mission trips.

Over the next couple months I hope to run every street of Roseau. The city of Roseau has approximately 30 miles of streets. In order to hit every street, I need to re-run many streets over and over again, so it ends up being about 90 miles.

Would you like to help kids in Northeast Minneapolis and, at the same time motivate me to keep on running? Here's how you can help:

Pledge

10 cents per mile: $9.00 total

or 25 cents per mile: $22.50 total

or $1 per mile: $90 total
or some other amount

All of the donations received will go to Living Hope Ministries. Please send me an email (stynsberg at wiktel dot com) and let me know how you'd like to help out.
