Monster Dashing

Len and I did the Monster Dash 1/2 marathon on saturday, Oct 27th. The course started at the Lake Harriet Bandshell, went down the Minnehaha Parkway nearly to Cedar, then turned around and looped Lake Calhoun and then back down to Lake Harriet.

It was a beautiful day for a run - the temp was a little cold at the start, but we warmed up nicely. Len said he wanted to take it slow, but slow for him was a bit fast for me - I was out of gas near Mile 11. But, it's not a high-intensity course, and a little walking was OK. At the end, Len said "Hit it!", and I did - took off sprinting - and beat him by 5 seconds! ;-) Still, my time was 2:25:25, which is hardly anything to brag about.
