Dee and I went to the Baldwin Maple Leaf Festival - quite a bit of walking and saw a lot of well done quilts on display. Bumped into a bunch of running friends.

5 min dynamic stretching at home, before going on run.
10 min with Dog Days group at Kizer Cummings parking lot.

From house to Pinckney School (7 chin-pull ups), then to Kizer Cummings lot (3 min). Then the Dog Days stretching. Then run to High Pointe Apts and back to downtown (3.2 mi). Ran with LaRisa Chambers Lochner most of the way - needed to explain who Glenn Cunningham was since she's from Elkhart. Ran through the alley in back of 818 Arkansas, where we used to live. Then chatted with Kristi Kennedy who was our neighbor back then (20+ years ago).
Final run home (2.8 mi) went by farmers market to see if Damon was there (buying hot peppers, didn't see him) then ran home with a stop at CLinton Park (7 pull-chin ups) and then stopped to chat with Lori Lange for about 10 min - while my GSP was still going.
All times for today's workout adjusted as I did a poor job (again) of stopping & starting up between rest intervals.
Taper week before the Mankato run next week.
45F & sunny - great weather!

dynamic stretching and tried on new shoes and compression socks.
After run, did planks (front and 2 sides).

Ran to downtown (10th & Mass) and back. Using the Petzel head lamp occasionally. Temp: about 45F - nice with one long sleeve shirt, but wore gloves. Compression socks are a lot like my old orienteering shoes (with the rubberized shin) - just a little tighter, but comfortable.

Threw in a few speed spurts on 5th and 4th streets on way back.

Ran to Robinson. 7 pull-chn ups at MSB.

Calisthenics briefly before jogging over to LHS track (1 lap), then sneaked out to run back home.

from LHS track back via KANU and home.
