Early report from Minnesota

Strong showing by Blake in Minnesota, finishing third in elite 10 miler. "Happy. Good effort," she reported in an early morning text. Now, onto a plane for home to be welcomed back by her "boys." She promises to post more later.

Looking good for Minnesota race

Imagine Blake's surprise (or horror) at seeing her editor in the Monterey airport at 5 a.m. before flying off to compete in the weekend's Medtronic 10 mile race in Minneapolis. Purely coincidence, Editor Dave and wife were off to Toronto to visit their daughter. Other than the surprise sighting, Blake's flights seemed to go smoothly, a good sign considering the disaster that was the Falmoth trip.  The 10-miler has a Sunday 10 a.m. start. Good luck Blake.
