It's a long weekend off of school for us. Since I didn't have to work on Friday, I decided to do my long run for the week. I ended up with 10 miles at an average of 9:22 pace. I'm happy with that. I ran the first five miles alone (and without music since my iPhone froze again at mile one). The second five miles were run with my running partner. I look forward to meeting up with her. It's a lot more fun to run with a friend. On Friday evening, we traveled up to "The Farm" (where my parents live) for a little getaway. On Saturday, I drove into town to go running. There was definitely more snow in my parent's town and more ice on the roads. This was a good opportunity for me to develop a new running workout. I'm calling it, "Minnesota Intervals." Here is how to run "Minnesota Intervals." 1. Go SLOWLY over ice. It's not worth a fall, so be careful. 2. Pick up the pace, and RUN at a 5K pace on dry pavement. 3. Repeat as needed. Here I am in front of the local depot station. This was my start and finish line for my run since there is a public parking lot across the street. I came upon this truck and it made me think of Missee... No need to worry Missee. This truck with hay bales was parked (but it was running). Also, these small bales looked well stacked and secured.
Happy Running! -Stephanie

I would take seeing the hay bales as an excuse to do the 5K pace part of the intervals. Hay trailers and ice sound double dangerous!
