Hennepin Lake Classic 10K

10K Race Sunday, at 8:15... registration tent in the park at Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis.

Runners lined up for the twice around the lake race.

A great time of the year to view flower plantings in private yards and gardens.

City of Lakes, downtown Minneapolis across Lake Calhoun... And a blessedly cloudy day, too, which made for dreary pictures ... but a mighty fine low-70's temp for running (although the humidity probably slowed us some) ... a sweet contrast with the hot August weather for this race the past several years.

Saturday (the previous day) we ran a little 4K in the park.

Flowers in our garden to wish you a pleasant week!


PS The general manager of the Minnesota Zephyr would like folks to know that the train is up and running again! Good luck to them.

Last ride on the Minnesota Zephyr

The dinner train will make its last run on New Year's Eve.
Then the tracks will be taken up to make room for a running trail between Gateway Trail and Stillwater.
