BMO & BRAINERD

WOW, JUST A LITTLE BEHIND TELLING YOU ABOUT BMO HARRIS PHOENIX 1/2 MARATHON 🙈 BUT HERE WE GO! THE MORNING STARTED AT 5AM TRYING TO PARK AND GET ON A SHUTTLE WHICH IS ALWAYS A NIGHTMARE. ITS ALWAYS FUN RIDING A SCHOOL BUS FULL OF PEOPLE BITCHING ABOUT HOW THEY TWISTED THIER ANKLE LAST WEEK AND ARE JUST RUNNING FOR FUN NOW. OR MAYBE ITS THE I REALLY DIDN'T TRAIN FOR THIS SPEECH...ITS ALWAYS SOMETHING. IF YOU FIND SOMEONE WITH EAR BUDS IN OR A HOOD UP BEING QUIET, THOSE ARE THE "RACERS" ON THE BUS.

​I WILL SAY ONE THING ABOUT THIS RACE, I WISH I KNEW THERE WAS FRENCH TOAST AT THE END WAITING FOR ME! I WOULD HAVE RAN WAY FASTER! SERIOUSLY, SO FLIPPIN AMAZING! THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT, THE COURSE WAS FLAT AND DARN NEAR DOWNHILL AND I DIDNT HAVE TOO MUCH PAIN IN MY LEGS THAT DAY. ALL THIS EQUATES TO A 1:43:48 WHICH IM PRETTY HAPPY WITH DUE TO SOME POOR TRAINING PRACTICES ON MY PART.

UP NEXT IS BRAINERD RUN FOR THE LAKES. A RACE THAT USUALLY SNEAKS UP ON ME AND I FINISH WITH A 2:05 AND FEEL LIKE SHIT. THIS YEAR SHOULD BE DIFFERENT AS I'M GOING TO TRAIN MY ASS OFF AND I GET THE ADDED BONUS OF THE GF GIVING ME LEGIT LEG MASSAGES TO HEAL MY BROKEN AND ABUSED BODY. I'LL TRY TO MAKE THE POST ABOUT BRAINERD A FEW DAYS AFTER THE RUN VERSUS THIS MONTH LATER STUFF! MAYBE YOU CAN JOIN ME IN BRAINERD AND GRAB A BEER AT BIG AXE OR GULL DAM BREWERY!
