On sunday i am running in my first half marathon ever.
13.1 miles will be the longest i have ever ran. I am so excited!
Were gonna teach those Minnetonka folk how grade "a" beef moves.
Faster than them i hope.
After that is the May Day Parade. which is right outside my house.
A whole day of festivities!
I think by the end of it i'll sleep well.
Stay tuned for results on the race, and the number of people i leave in the dust! (not sure if the high class in Minnetonka know what dust is but i'll make sure to kick some up for them)

Minneapolis is #1 !!
In case you haven't heard:

If you are a biker, Minneapolis is the best place to live according to Bicycling Magazine.
The May issue of Bicycle Magazine just came out and named Minneapolis the most bike-friendly city in America.
The city moved into the number one spot after being named runner-up last year.
Portland, Ore., Boulder, Colo., Seattle, Wash., and Eugene, Ore. are the cites that round out the top five.
The cities are ranked based on the number of bike lanes and routes, bike commuters, cycling events and renowned bike shops.
Minneapolis has 127 miles of bikeways, with 83 of those being off-street trails. There is more bike parking per capita in Minneapolis than any other city in the country. The city also has many bike amenities and big bicycling community.
In June, Minneapolis will start the largest bike-share program in the country.
The worst cycling cities are Birmingham, Ala., Jacksonville, Fla., and Memphis, Tenn.
Having commuted by bike for over 5 years now, and being part of a bike shop and many different events i am very happy and very proud of our city and the people in it. People are catching on to the efficiency of bikes in the city. It's just smarter. Plain and Simple.

Spring/Summer
The day is sunny
the colors beautiful,
so much to do my head is spinning
too many choices
that is the modern problem with my generation.
too hard to focus with swarms of everything flying around my head.
just want to run for the hills
or the beach
anything simpler than this.
