Kansas Recap: No rain, 88 degrees — yep, it was WARM ☀️

3 blocks not, one block east – 2 minute total commute to Red Hawk Stadium.  Another great nite of sleep, big fan of Hiawatha.  Cool morning temp that would disappear early.  Pre-warned, no trees in Kansas — flat, exposed grasslands course, hugging the local high school’s football stadium.

Went out fast & stayed quick for 16 miles.  Last 8 miles a social walk with Angela, Ed (Day 1) & Missy (Day 2).  All my faves now together.  Last day for lotta folks as the weekend’s over & non re-wired peeps go back to work.  Faster finish each successive day.  Said my goodbyes.  Rural KS road awaits.

USA Heartland.  Soy beans & corn.  Interstate 29 North — an hour of Missouri then Council Bluffs & Sioux City.  3 hour+ commute but no parking-lot coma.  Saving sleeps for my Nebraska-based hotel. HAHA!  Would be here 3 nights, opting for a dark-hour morning drive last day/stay in the same bed.

Met new runners as I checked in.  How far?  50K every day.  They’ll catch on — it’s what all the cool kids run.  LOL>  Dinner plans tomorrow.  Nebraska/Iowa courses within 10 miles of each another, allowing downtime for lotta runners before early sleeps & recoup regimes.

3 days in, 5 states to go.
