By perseverance the snail reached the ark. Charles Spurgeon I did Storm the Day today. Ran sunrise to sundown. 2.5 mile loop. Got 34 miles, hoped for more, but heat ramped up to summertime temps. Happy to have completed 2 ultras this tumultuous year. Fun day! #running #trailrunning #minnesota

A wooden magnet instead of a medal. I like it.

The best after a long hot running day - McDonalds fries.

Do what matters most to you and make a difference doing that. Germany Kent Carcamped to get up early to help at Firetower trail races. Today I ran/walked runners at mile 24.8 at the Twin Cities Marathon. "If you are losing faith in human nature, go out and watch a marathon." Katherine Switzer

Brilliant pink sunrise at Saturday trail races.

My friend's first Twin City 10 mile today. Twin Cities Marathon is a beautiful fall event!

Elm Creek at the old stone bridge. Ran 6 miles on my way home from the marathon.

When I hear the coyote wailing to the yellow dawn, my cares fall from me - I am happy. Hamlin Garland Started at 4:15am due to having stuff to do. Last long run before event in 2 weeks. Coyotes howled in the dark. An owl who'd, birds chirped. Kickass sunrise. All is right in my world.

Sameness is the mother of disgust, variety the cure. Petrarch 2 loops on and near the horse trail. 1st one started in the dark and rain on paved. 2nd one on muddy trails. 14 soggy miles capped off by a deep tissue massage. Ahhhhh. #running #trailrunning

My fastest times may be behind me, but my best self is yet to come. Deena Kastor I did something different today. A half marathon on paved trails. Through my usual park. I wasn't fast, but I wasn't last and it was a perfect morning. Felt good to switch it up. #running #trailrunning

Hillary is so smart. I miss smart people.

Feel the fear and do it anyway. Susan Jeffers 8 very tired, humid, vigilant miles at Elm Creek this morning. Decided to not let someone keep me from my park. Several undercovers were around. Grateful for them. Was able to relax and enjoy it eventually. #trailrunning

Minnesota State Fair does not disappoint. Crop Art surprised me with it's political commentary, as did more than one scarecrow. The 8647 crop art was taken down after complaints. By a butt-hurt MAGA no doubt. #Minnesota

In the midst of darkness, light persists. Mahatma Gandhi 13 miles mostly in the dark with a mist to keep me fairly cool. Was able to quiet my mind and not think about the woman runner who was assaulted in my park or worry about bears. Took the win. #trailrunning

Running across the new bridge toward the road lights.

Looking back at where I ran from on the bridge

Most turkeys taste better the day after, my mother's tasted better the day before. Rita Rudner So many turkeys wandering about. One tried to suicide in front of my car, another did the same to another car. Truly stupid. Deer and Heron are way smarter. 7+ enjoyable dam miles. #trailrunning #running

Good things come slow—especially in distance running Bill Dellinger Started in the rain. Wet feet & mud shouldn't stop a trail run on long run Saturday. I misjudged how long my route would take. Of course. 12 soul-lifting miles ended in breath sucking humidity & happiness. #trailrunning

Seeing a tiny bit of fall. Yellow leaves on a trail surrounded by a cathedral of mostly green trees.

Ride as much or as little... But ride. Eddy Merckx Crosstraining day. Bike ride on the paved trails at my favorite park. Much like trail running, I am happy to report no falls, no wrong turns, plenty of hills, and a happy time. Ride until the cold comes. Run all year. #trailrunning #Minnesota

The obsession with running is really an obsession with the potential for more and more life. George A. Sheehan Foggy, cooler morning run with a friend. I wait all week to run long on Saturdays. Trails, fog, filtered sunlight, birds singing. 8 miles of paradise. #running #trailrunning #minnesota

If we were meant to stay in one place, we’d have roots instead of feet. Rachel Wolchin 9+ miles of adventure at Lake Rebecca with a friend. Sprinkles, wrong turns. Total happiness. #running #trailrunning #minnesota

Deer on the roadside. Staring. Like deer do.
