Those of us who are skeptical about his reported result on Thanksgiving are asking reasonable questions based on recent events.
Yes, he ran the 10-miler with his daughter. Lots of people use races of various distances for quality family time rather than all-out tests of fitness. Conner Mantz did a 2:43 marathon fun run in the form of pacing his wife.
I looked at the course. It was out and back. He obviously turned back before the 5k turn around. Besides, his morning instagram has him and family members bundled up for the temps. in the teens. He calls "it a fun run". There is no GPS Garmin data either on his Insta. BTW here is his 10 miler in October.

"The governor aimed for a pace of about 9:30 per mile, and finished just a little behind his target at 9:49."
No way he actually ran that 46 min in change for the whole 10k.
From the article: "Both the governor and his daughter logged a race time of 1:38:12... Gov. Walz confirmed on Thursday that he would take part in the race, despite concerns about the unusually warm fall weather. "I promised Hope I'd run with her," Walz said. "Knock on wood, I'm actually running pretty hard and people who run a lot know if you're running with a friend you can't leave them."
He clearly held back in the 10-mile race to stay with his daughter, who likely ran slower than anticipated due to the warm weather.
After the Turkey Trot, he posted a screenshot of his Garmin on his Instagram Stories. It showed he ran 6.25 miles with a total time of 46:49, an average heart rate of 153 bpm, and 808 total calories burned.
OK so some comment says that pic was 2021. I have no idea. I don’t really care if the guy runs a 46 or 66 minute 10K. It really won’t impact our lives.

Reports coming in that he may be investigated for the $1B fraud going in under his watch. Anyone in the state know anything about this? Is he going to jail?

Different topic. Meant to smear Somalis is my guess.
