While I was getting dressed for my run this morning I was watching the weather on TV. The weatherman said through the first 3 weeks of April we were on-pace for the warmest April ever. After everything was said and done, we finished in 11th. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have the cold April weather at the beginning of the month. In fact, if there’s any month where I’d like the warm days at the end – it’s probably April.
I dragged myself through an easy 6 miles this morning. I definitely felt the race and my long run from yesterday. Hopefully I’ll bounce back by tomorrow night’s workout.
Lots of race results from the weekend that included people with ties to Minnesota or Wisconsin. This is not an all inclusive list. It’s mainly top names that people will recognize with a few that you might not.

I run with Mueller some in the summer. His old man Dave is a competitive master runner and a 30-31 10k himself in the day. Get this, Dave ran XC at Hale High w/ Kooch. How's that for less than 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon.
Cool. I love hearing when parents "pass down" their love of the sport to their kids. But still, 30:11 as a freshman is scary-fast. Sounds like he doesn't "belong" at a D3 school.
Kooch was probably better than Dave back then.
