MPH Don’t Matter Today
Yesterday, after running the Tesfa 5K, I joined Matt and Pharmie for a nice 32 mile ride down the Gateway Trail. (Note: my Tesfa 5K report will be up tomorrow.) This ride was not for speed - it was simply to enjoy the great 64 degree November afternoon!

We paused for photos at the North St. Paul Snowman, which is right along the trail:
We came home, cooked for a bit (chicken and pasta, pumpkin “flesh,” pumpkin bars, and “spaghetti bake”), and then headed to a bonfire for the evening. Yes, those are about 12 foot flames:
What a great day: a 5K, a bike ride, good food, and a bonfire with friends! Stop on by tomorrow for my Tesfa 5K race report!

Looks like a fun ride~I'm a little scared of that bonfire. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe only thing missing on the list was beer. A bonfire needs beer.
ReplyDeleteThat bike path looks great!! what a nice day.
That's an impressive fire.
ReplyDeletecongrats on your 5K win!
ReplyDeleteNicely done on the 5K win - and nice new blog look (I hadn't noticed it before now).
ReplyDeleteI guess the foam rolling and the arnica helped get you to that first place finish. Did you win something cool like 5 lbs of kilbasa or a left-over bag of halloween candy?
ReplyDeletecan you believe this amazing weather?! what a great day !
ReplyDeletesounds like a great day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to spend a weekend.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in N.St.Paul--I haven't seen the snowman in YEARS!
ReplyDeleteok...I have to ask. What the hell is pumpkin flesh and why would you eat it?
ReplyDeleteSara: I guess I'm trying to say we cooked some pumpkins. Then we scooped out the "flesh" and froze it for use in upcoming breads, bars, pies, etc.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it sounded weird!
Sounds like it was a great day!
