Nevertheless, I was able to run before I left Minnesota and did survive the humidity during the Le Sueur Giant Days 5k. It was so humid that I did not wear my traditional sunglasses (even the orange ones). When I was warming up my glasses began to fog up and I was unable to see. So I forwent that problem and just ran. Like I said, it was humid and my time definitely showed as my time was almost 20:00 (19:49). I was able to place well (7OA 1AG), and the times in general did not seem that great but whatever.
This week (8-1, 8-7-2010) I have been in Bozeman, MT taking Grad classes and things went okay on that front. I was able to do some running while in Bozeman. It was nice to run somewhere else besides the rolling hills that are Belle Plaine. If you are a runner, you know that changing the scenery that you run in can be a big change in moral.

As you can see, I was very blessed in my location. I was able to run and see that three times this past week and each time I could not believe how beautiful it was. The runs themselves were never at a break neck pace it was my vacation so to speak so I tried to take things easy. I did sign up for a 5k for the Saturday that I fly back to Minnesota for the heck of it. My wife thinks I have a problem since the two times I left for a “vacation” the first thing I did after finding when I would be there I looked for a race. I think this comes back to the thoughts on changing the scenery, plus it is fun to race in places you will not be around all that often or ever again. Maybe I can leave them wondering were did that guy come from and when they look they are taken back some (probably not but it would be cool).
