No morning run, but I did eat breakfast in Mitchell, SD, the hometown of 1972 Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern. Poor George failed to even win his home state in 72, winning only Massachusetts and leaving Nixon the other 49 states.

Nixon worked out well.

PM: Treadmill fartlek in the fitness center here at the Raddison in South Minneapolis overlooking "The Waterpark of America" - supposedly the worlds largest indoor waterpark. Going to say no to the mall next door.

Oh, and in an almost unbelievable coincidence, we also drove through Ceylon Minnesota, the boyhood home of former vice president and 1984 Democratic presidential nominee Walter Mondale also the victim of a 49 state drubbing at the hands of Ronald Reagan. At least Mondale won Minnesota.

Pretty good workout actually with a little weights/strength training after.

Sure, sure... McGovern blah blah - how could you not say Mitchell, SD, home of the Corn Palace!!? In the several summers of my youth traversing Iowa and SD, we never failed to pop into the Corn Palace if we were within spittin range. Do continue the travelblogging, Rob - good memories.

We drove by the Corn Palace and said "nah" before heading over to the Perkins.
