Yesterday was the annual Trail Mix Run - 25K up and down the hills at Hyland Park Reserve in Bloomington. I ran with IronGreg, Becca, and her sister Maggie and my friend Diane. It was a perfect day - cool, cloudy, temps in the 40's or 50's. We took 2:33 to finish, so the pace was comfortable and steady throughout.
Lucky for us this year, the ski hill still had snow on it, so the race director re-routed us. All gentle rolling hills. Still hillier than anything I ever run, but much better that doing that ski hill.
Today Bobby has a soccer tournament at 3, 6, and 8 p.m. I'll try to get a pic or two of him as I haven't posted a lot of his pics lately.
Have a great day, everyone!
Former Ironman now in pursuit of the mountains.

I was going to show up at Trail Mix. But it was raining, I hadn't registered and I thought to myself, "Why pay $45 to run in this when it's going to dry up and be sunny later and I can run for free?"
Maybe I should have run Trail Mix, cuz it didn't go so great later.
Great run! I was going to show up with Trimama and do it as well but I figured the hills would kill my ITband more than I need it to. :) I ran 12.3 that morning in the rain, the lakes are a much flatter course. Glad you did it!!
nice pace and time for the 25k
Glad to hear you got some trail racing in. I hope you had fun out there..
Great job..
Sounds brutal to a flatlander like me. Glad you got the lesser of the two evil routes.
Great job on the Trail Mix run...especially with all the hills!
Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the Wireless, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://wireless-brasil.blogspot.com. A hug.
Great job on the run! One of these years, I am hoping to check it out for myself. Except, I don't like hills...one small problem.
