No time for a run this morning...

Leaving early to drive a U-Haul to Missouri over the next 2 days to move my son's family for his Medical Residency in Columbia.

We are in Columbia, Missouri for the next couple of days. This is where my son will do his Medical Residency for the next 3 (maybe 6 if he does a specialty) years.

I found a trail system that was only 1.3 miles from our hotel. I ran across a very desolated MIZZOU campus to the MKT trail. It was a perfect trail that was completely tree covered. I was worried that my Garmin might lose the signal, but it wouldn't be a problem since they had mileage markers every 1/4 of a mile. It felt like I was nowhere near a city at all.

The uncomfortable thing today was it was 68 degrees with 94% humidity at 6:00am this morning. I was completely SOAKED by the end of my run. And to top it off, there wasn't even a hint of a breeze. I was actually missing a nice stiff Idaho wind to keep me dry...lol.

Total 10.07 miles.

I will probably run the same place the next 2 days...it was nice!

Last morning in Columbia. It was actually a nicer morning...still Humid, but there was a slight breeze and the sun came out!

This has been a great Urban Trail to run on the last 3 days. I even saw a turtle this morning...

Total 10.09 miles.

Now I get to drive to St. Louis, fly back to Utah, then drive back to Idaho.
