Here is a Google Map detailing my adventures in Minneapolis.

Went for a 10.5 mile run this morning using the Kenwood Parkway and down around the Chain of Lakes (KML file in Google Maps). What a great trail system! Ran for a little while with some folks who were out doing 15 miles today. She is tapering for a marathon in a couple of weeks, he is getting ready for a 50k trail run. The first couple of miles were kind of slow while I was trying to figure out where I was going, but in the middle I was able to pick up the pace as I went from the Lake of the Isles and over to Lake Calhoun. There are some really beautiful homes lining these lakes and the paths were top notch. Every mile or so there are potties and the paths have trash cans and benches everywhere. And to think I barely scratched the surface of the trails.

After my run, I met up with a friend and we had brunch at a local Irish Pub. Right now, I am catching up on e-mail at Dunn Brothers coffee and watching them prepare a batch of beans to roast.

This afternoon I'm heading to a couple of receptions where I'll be able to catch up with some clients. So far, I am having a good trip, but I sure do miss my girls!
