The day has arrived! Osten and I started the day by running the Freedom 5K.
Osten finished at 26:36 placing 11th in his age group. I finished 33:06 placing 21st in my age group.
I ran the entire time other than to take a little water at about the half way mark. Osten ran the whole way! It felt great and the weather was pretty much perfect.
We had yummy snacks—bagel, peanut butter, banana, egg bites, a honey bee from cross hatch and my friend Lynn handed me a Gatorade at the two mile mark.
Boy, I’m really enjoying July so far. Lots of good exercise on the 2nd and a huge raspberry harvest. A good new book, making a tasty healthy lunch, Osten making money from dog sitting Luis and brother Kurt celebrating US 250 at his office in St. Paul.
Beautiful start to July. Way cooler and more comfortable weather wise. Did my workout, did my start of the month hike, went shopping with my friend Teri and now are hosting Bruce and Julie for dinner…they are bringing pasta. My friend Angie Bond brought a shirt that she thought I would like. Friends are the best!
It was a great month! Thank you for being beautiful, sunny, rainy and full of relaxation.
Latest in my quest to see why I’ve been light headed is me wearing a heart rate monitor for the next two weeks. I’ve been doing well the past ten days so let’s hope that is all behind me or we can figure out what’s going on and fix it!
I had to shave my chest, exfoliate and put alcohol wipes on it. Hope I applied it well!
We gathered at Memorial Park. The first time none of the children or in laws of Nels and Annie Pierson were able to attend. We lost two of the remaining four matriarchs since the last reunion and the two who survive are physically and or mentally incapable of attending.
