Today I ran the Brook Hill 5k, which Jon Elmore and Eric Schotz were working and officiating.  I got first place in the 30-39 age group, but I was pretty lucky that none of the 9 people who finished before me were in my age group.  It rained a few hours before the race and after the race, but it held off during the race.  It was humid but the temperature wasn't too bad.  I left my Garmin at home by accident so the only distance and time info I have is from the race.

This evening I ran the Greenway/RidgeTop Road/Ghost Hill Road loop in Trinity.  I'm going to be spending the next 4 days in St. Paul MN on a business trip and I'm hoping to squeeze some running in while I'm there.

Tonight I ran on a really nice paved bike/running trail in St. Paul MN.  It's in the Battle Creek Park area, just south of the 3M center.  I think the trails on the east side of McKnight are well known since they are visible from the street, but the best running, imo, is this secluded paved trail that runs west from McKnight.  It runs in a wooded valley along a creek bed with lots of little bridges and is very scenic and pretty.  A trail map of the area is here.

Tonight I ran on that great trail west of Battle Creek Park.  In the photo below, the start in the upper right is the Holiday in at McKnight and 94.  It's an out and back run and it decends the whole way out, so the elevation profile for the run looks like this.
