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...

Here we are getting ready:

Set:

Go!

Running near our house:

...Approaching the finish line:

Goal achieved!

Third place for the old guys:

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:

Running Every Street - Year Three!

Similar to last year, due to the late spring, we're getting a late start. Summer's here now, so let's do it again!

Please read the info on the right side of this page. Again, donations will be going to Living Hope. If you're not familiar with Living Hope, please click on the link and learn about this great ministry in Northeast Minneapolis.

Thanks to everyone who donated last year. We were able to give $920 to Living Hope! Thanks to everyone who will donate this year. Please come back often and watch my progress.

Malung 5K

I took off some pounds. I trained at shorter distances. And today I ran a much smarter race than the previous races this summer. It all paid off. Not only did I achieve my goal of under 30 minutes - I was actually under 28 minutes!

Now I need to decide if I should run in Fargo next month...

Thank you to all of you who have sent in your money for the fund raiser. The funds are very much appreciated.

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.

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.
