In a little over a week we will be participating in Menagha's St. Urho 5K and 10K. (My kids will be in the 5K and I am signed up for the 10K.) I really like having the option to run a 10K. The 5K feels too fast for me. A link to the race is here in case you would like to join us. Missee and I have run this race before. For me, it has been quite a long time ago. It is really a beautiful area of Minnesota with lots of pine trees. I'm looking forward to it! In preparation for the run next weekend, my running friend and I ran six miles today. I have been using Strava on my Apple watch to track my runs lately. I really like this app. At each mile mark, it tells me the mile number, the overall time, and the pace of the previous mile. I love this audio feature since without glasses on, it can be difficult to read my watch. The app is free. In addition to running, a favorite summer activity of mine is picking strawberries. My kids and I got to the Brouwer Berry Farm this week. These strawberries are so sweet. We managed to control our urge to pick too many berries this year. We had just enough to share with friends, eat with a few meals, and freeze three bags. Happy Summer! Happy Running! -Stephanie
