Mainly 50 Award

Monday, Monday.

Long commute day prior but Day 4… your boy’s a well-oiled machine.

Shower, Applebee’s steak dinner, race-clothes prepped, 6 hours sleep.  Motel coffee early a.m. — ready, ready to run.  Crystal Cove Park, South Sioux City NE.

Welcome turn in temp.  Yesterday’s rain forecast wasn’t missed, just delayed ’til nightfall.  15-20 degrees cooler than Kansas — it’s still summer, but highs in the 70’s?  Unexpected gift.

Lost my run-bud Angela to the work week so no excuse this day.  Another quick first Half, running lotta miles with a raccoon exterminator from Ohio.  Conspiracy theorist.  New stories, new energy. I’d lose him at the Half & kept steady strong.  Music blaring, sunshine skies, a competitive marathoner from Columbus GA actively right on-my-tail.  Would cut an hour-half off my best Prairie time but still finish distance a lap after this guy’s marathon.  He’d razz me tonite at dinner, asking why I tanked a late walk-lap — fully deserved, but tomorrow’s his Day 2.  We’ll see man 🙂

Nebraska Welcome Sign: ‘the Good Life’.

That sums Day 4.  50K every day.  Living a mighty good life ❤️

Prairie Series — South Sioux City NE

[Asked a local runner, why GOOD life?  He said in Nebraska its not a GREAT life.  LOL>]
