First Annual Oak Island 5K! (???)

That's right, Oak Island.  I was the sole competitor in my own 5K workout.  Just so happens that if you run from the East end of the island to the West end, then back again, it's about 3 miles.  Too bad it's all rutted up muddy paths.  But that's a great challenge for a runner.  Keep on the path, keep track of your intensity, don't lose your footing in mud, and don't turn your ankle on the terrain (I did twice, a bit sore, but OK).

If you aren't aware of Oak Island, it is the Northern most point in the lower 48 states, and sits atop the Northwest Angle in Northern Minnesota.  Nice place to go if you want to catch Walleye, and a nice surprise that this island in the Northern paradise has enough trails to support at least some kind of training while up here.

Got some evidence, as you can see.  Pictures include 1) trail conditons,  2) halfway point (West end of island), and 3) my son with the "proof" of why we came this far (just a sampling).

Thanks for reading my blog!
