Mediocre Enger Trails
We started in Enger. Looked like a fun group before it even started 🙂 some faces that don’t come that often. Everyone had been here before, and most people knew each other even if some specific people hadn’t met we didn’t do formal introductions, just a few small ones. Jennifer came back, and I didn’t…

Piedmont and Hartley
The Mediocre Trail friends got out a couple times this week. Our usual Thursday run was in Piedmont. Everywhere we go feels fun, and also feels like we haven’t been there in a long time. We hung out in the parking lot before, and talked about our plans to eat cheesecake to celebrate Nate’s birthday…

Brighton Beach June 20th, before Grandma’s

Magne-Trail Runners Edition June 12th
We went up to Magne in Duluth and ran a pretty technical and somewhat long (for us) trail, about 5 1/2 miles. Mostly single file, pretty much only changing the lineup at pauses or when Ethan got some energy and wanted to burst ahead. Somewhat chilly left a lot of us wanting hot chocolate afterwards.…
