Hiking 1:13:05 [1] 5.22 km (14:00 / km) +3m 13:58 / km
shoes: Barefoot
6:20 AM; Washburn, WI
15.9 °C; Cloudy
Hit the beach just as the sun was peeping out over the horizon, through a narrow gap between Madeline Island and the clouds that would soon swallow it, not to be seen for the remainder of the day. The forecast was pretty clear: rain for the rest of the day, the coming night and part of the morning after. A few photo stops along the way, sunrise, the narrowing mouth of the Sioux and some insects and blossoms. After I got back, I installed a wader hanger I had prepared for the shed and moved the one already in to the outside. I did make a second one for my friend Craig. I should have done a little bike ride with Roux instead and done the chore later. Went fishing in the rain, PM, no fish, I assume they were trying to stay dry, too. Lynn and I decided to go see Dunkirk but the theater was sold out. The guy at the till said we should try tomorrow, should be OK if it wasn't raining ... Went to the Deep Water Grille instead for a nice early dinner.

7:00 AM; DT Minneapolis
Weekly benchmark of the daily stair climb. Starting at TPC, ending at desk. 2 floors at TPN at a jog, 10 floors at TCC, crossing over left and then right each for half of the 200 steps. Stopped on floor 27 for a photo of the hills near Turtle Lake, which always intrigue me.

Time trial. Warmed up on Holton to Pierce Butler and gradually increased speed. Hardly any wind this morning. Decided to push hard all the way to work. One short stop at 1st Ave light, other than that fairly smooth sailing. A lot of runners out today, some going four abreast on bike trail, not moving out of the way for bikes. Almost 30 km/h in mixed city riding, above 30 km/h if stops are not counted. Pretty happy.

21.1 °C; Cloudy
Interior designer at home, dogs looked rather frazzled and disturbed. Lynn said that they had been nicely waiting for me and their walk. I was happy to oblige (just to prevent any misconceptions, the interior designer is super nice). Kept up a swifter pace than earlier this week. not much to report except that the Minnesota State Fair is in full swing, judging by the traffic (car, foot and other).

Kept up a decent pace, in spice of a decent headwind. A little later than usual, hence a lot of traffic.

Took it easy this morning, still recovering from the long car trip Sunday-Monday. Felt quite cool out this morning, glad for the long sleeves.

Roux was super antsy today, badly in need of the walk and some off-leash time. Very pleasant outside, today.

Forgot to turn on GPS when I left TPC, remembered at entry to CLT. Super fast ride, thanks in part to a little tailwind but also being lucky with the lights and traffic.

Somewhat of a headwind but took it easy. I feel tired from going to bed too late and my legs feel tired since I did run yesterday.

It appeared that the dogs had missed their Monday walk. they were very happy to join me today, saying hi to a very young wirehaired pointer and getting pets from a neighbor after having the run of Energy Park.

3:37 PM; Minneapolis-St. Paul
22.5 °C; Partly cloudy
Decent tailwind with an occasional swirl. But the start, going NW through the downtown canons was brutal. Consistently riding S St. Anthony-Pierce Butler this week, because of MSF prep and start. Super comfortable temps and humidity.

6:40 AM; Norfolk, NE
19.1 °C; Partly cloudy
Very nice way to start an exciting day. the weather looked beautiful, giving me hope to be able to watch the eclipse. Headed S on 81, immediately moving onto a dirt road. super nice running surface, smooth, firm and resilient, seemed like a mix of sand and clay. When I was back in Ta Ha Zouka park, I saw Joel, who tried to ambush me. walked back with him, since I had done my 5 km.

Beautiful morning, a little later than yesterday. Having read the cloud forecast and looking at the sun this morning I am worrying about our prospects of seeing the eclipse someplace in Nebraska tomorrow.

Since my attempt to withdraw cash from the Capitol branch teller machine was thwarted by my impatience yesterday, I decided to ride to the one near the U of MN. Lovely ride, many cyclists out, I think I was the only one not wearing lycra. (I do wear it daily on my way to work). No wait and return trip along river and through Desnoyer and Merriam Park neighborhoods.
