I got this spam marketing email a few hours ago and have been trying to process this combination of things that Instacart has grouped together for me. It does sound intriguing–I hadn’t considered Casamigos, Taco Bell, and Tostitos as an order–but I don’t think this ad will convert.
May is here. Days are ramping up, gonna be a busy time through mid-June…feeling ready for it but lots cooking. High workload at the office, kids activities, longest yet ultra race in June, end of the school year. One step at a time.
Watched The Polka King (2017) tonight…loved it! I forgot I was watching Jack Black and don’t think anyone else could have nailed the role that well. 🎥
Midday run today, first time taking the Singletrack at Lone Lake Park. Beautiful day and a great 5 mile trail. 🏃

Feeling recovered from last week. Got out for 20 miles on my run, then watched the Elm Creek Backyard Ultra participants finish yard 24 (100 miles). 13 met that mark, then 7 continued on 🏃
Checked out four different local parks with my son to stack rank for his upcoming birthday party. The rain was not an issue and we now have a clear order in mind. Fingers crossed for availability 🤞😉
Spent some time outside doing spring yard work after work today. Perfect late afternoon/evening for it!
Still feeling sore after my race Saturday. That didn’t stop me from getting out for a walk with my wife and the dogs today. 🌞
Finished reading: American Assassin by Vince Flynn 📚 listened to this one during my run today…end to end 🏃 📖 👂
Got my last run 🏃in before the Storm the Park 50K today. I’m excited for the long run with some terrain and vert. 8000+ feet of elevation coming for my 50K…
First time trying a Jalapeño IPA. Birch’s on the Lake in Long Lake had it. Good spiciness 🌶️ but still easy to drink.
Was out with the Tuesday Night Trails group and got to chat with Isaac, the new primary owner of Gear West. Excited for their future!
Returned the kids' seasonal ski rental gear today. It was a fantastic season with lots of growth for both of them!
It’s also a nice milestone to mark the changing of seasons. ❄️ 🌦️ 🌞
I volunteered at the Zumbro Endurance Runs over the weekend. It was great to give back to the trail running community. Way to go runners! What a weekend and I even got out for a couple of my own runs during breaks… 🏃👍
