I finished second out of 17 in my age gender division at an 8:26 per mile pace. Turned out to be a perfect morning for a run!.

The thermometer said 30 degrees this morning. I figure the faster I run the @CrazyHorseMem half marathon the warmer I'll be! #runthismountain

To be clear, @bhenergy South Dakota residential rates have decreased 0.76% over the last year. Lower natural gas prices help. Not sure what's going on in WY.

Did my last half marathon 7 years ago. Turned 60 a week ago. Set a goal last spring to see if an old overweight body could be trained to do it one more time. Finished @SFMHM in 2:01:05 which put me 5th out of 20 in my age/gender category. Mission accomplished!

Despite a phenomenal @GOPconvention , it appears @realDonaldTrump is now going down the same path as 2020 - seeing how many voters he can offend. #notawinningstrategy Get back to the crucial issues of the day!.

#SDPUC stands rock solid in our work and belief that the electric grid must contain dispatchable generation sources to ensure 24/7/365 flow of electricity for South Dakotans.
