The Spring Dash in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho 2025

A beautiful day in Coeur d Alene, Idaho for the Spring Dash 10 K.  I was on my own for this race but I knew it would help me for Bloomsday which was the next weekend.  

I found friends.  They are all runners.  It was great to see my former teaching colleagues.

Getting ready for the start!

As usual the scenery was breathtaking.  

See the two ladies in the center of the photo way ahead of me.  I ended up walking with them for several miles.  I made new friends. 

Hit the turn around and headed back to the start or should I say to the finish. 

The last stretch. 

I walked faster than normal and I was thrilled.  I felt great at the end. I did jog now and then for a few steps.  That helped the time.  6.2 miles done and I am ready for Bloomsday!
