I promised my daughter I would take her to my work, so my wife biked and we ran there. About 7:18 pace? Could have felt worse for post race and pushing a stroller. Of course I felt plenty sore. 

Kansas City. 7:12 pace on Ward parkway. Still sore as expected. The low this morning was 79 so I was expecting to die out there but it really wasn't that bad. Shade, wind, and a small layer of clouds may have helped, in addition to the fact that the AC is better where we are staying so I wonder if my body temp was cooler this morning. I can definitely say I enjoy running here more than Chicago, which was my last trip. So far I am a fan of KC. You can tell the climate is different based on the greenery. 

7:04 pace in KC. Cooler this morning. I am going to name KC "Statue City" for all the little statues you see around in neighborhoods. I like that a lot. What I didn't like was how awful the sidewalks were at handling a little bit of rain. There were huge puddles everywhere and the creek boardwalk I was going to do had mud on it. So about a mile into my run, I ditched my previous plan and was proud of how I was able to run around and figure things out. Saw some very nice neighborhoods. 

6:59 pace, mostly on Tomahawk road in Indian Hills and Prairie Village, Kansas. I neglected to say that the past three days I have run in two states each day (KS and MO each time of course) which may be a first. Saw some pretty cool things. The gardens and statues they have make you feel like you are in a sculpture garden even though it's really just a neighborhood. My race recovery hasn't been as linear as it could have been- even though I have run faster each day, I felt a little banged up today. 

7:08 pace, trolley trail. 

6:22 pace on west river. Minnehaha falls was more like Niagara after all this rain. Only took a couple side paths because of mud. 6:15 pace on way back.
