Stillwater Log Run 12K

 Today we ran the Stillwater Log Run 12K. I finished DFL (aka dead fucking last). But I don't care. There were only 103 people who ran the race. There was a 10 mile race too so I didn't feel lonely as I was passed by 150 people. Hahaha!  My miles were pretty consistent if there wasn't an uphill. Mile 7 was the fastest but it was mostly downhill. My last half mile into the finish was on pace to be faster than Mile 7. That's pretty good for me. I'm still not ready for the Twin Cities 10 Mile in two weeks. 

My training hasn't been great because my knee pain came back. :(

 

 We had a busy weekend. We started out Friday driving to Austin, MN to watch Bryce (Abbie's husband) fight in an MMA fight. It was an interest, late night. Here is Bryce in the ring.

The next day was Hermanfest in New Ulm. The kids joined us for the event. The NU municipal band plays with the NU Battery. They fire really civil war cannons!  How cool is that?!?

After the concert we stuck around for the fireworks over the Herman statue. It was a fun evening!

Sunday we had yet another Twins game. 

We have made several trips to Valleyfair this year. Once with Mike, Linda and Alec, once with Carrie and kids, once with Nancy and Greg and twice with Danielle and Blake. Blake is definitely Danielle's kids. And quite a few with DJ.
