The ultimate trick

10 miles - we started at 6:30am and the temp was in the upper 30's but as the morning progressed on the run, it was perfection! Light layering and no wind. That's right... I said it, a day of no wind in Iowa. I know hard to believe. :-) I ran with Staci and Coach Kevin the whole time as it was a smaller turnout and there were only 3 of us going the 10 mile marathon distance. And we asked Coach Kevin about his family vacation and some other stories from running. This I've learned is the ultimate trick, because then you don't have to talk, you just listen and you keep your mind on something other than the running you are doing. Brilliant. I guess it's not really a trick when I say to him "Kevin, tell us some stories so we can listen and not have to talk today". But you know... :-) We were on the Clive trail and saw a TON of deer along the way. Overall it was a great run! I had a brunch at La Mie with my good friend Sara to look forward to afterwards and then on to "home" in Reinbeck for Easter. We had some easter eggs to hide and Grandma is throwing in a $50 spot this year, so you can imagine how intense the "adult" hunt is going to get. Go grandma and game on!
