We went to Kansas City primarily so my Beloved could spend some time with her sister.
But I had to go running of course.
Saturday we took out on a nice trail near her sister's house about sunrise, it was very nice.
Later that day we went out and did some shopping. I got a nice photo of the carousel at the mall.
Sunday morning I found out the nice folks at Run 816 were hosting a free group run of 11 miles through downtown Kansas City. So I had to take part in that.
There was a good number of folks who showed up for the run. I wish I had talked to more people, but I'm not very outgoing (working on it though!)
I really wanted to just run, but the photographer in me couldn't help but make some pictures.
I did fall in and get to meet Sarah and Emily when I got a little confused as to which way I should run. Thanks again for letting me run with you all!
The run went along the riverfront too, it was spectacular!
This is the ASB Bridge, the lower deck is for trains and the upper deck used to carry cars. The upper deck is no longer in use but trains still go over the lower. And it's a draw bridge! Those big rectangular blocks are weights. The lower deck rises straight up into the upper so tall barges can pass underneath. Here's a video of it in action on YouTube!
Going up the stairs I was surprised to find folks have been putting love locks on the fence. I knew people do that in Paris and such didn't think anyone would do it here!
My half marathon is a little more than a month away. And I'm very excited.
My Beloved decided to register for the 5k, I'm so proud of her!
We decided to book a room at the hotel right near the starting line so we won't have to get up so early on race day. We can just walk right outside to the race!
