Following some knee trouble over the last 2 weeks (and backing waaayyyy off
the mileage) I opted to take a different route to my dad's farm, taking advantage
of wider shoulders and awesome tailwinds. Next week, I'll peak at 24.5.

About 6 miles into today's run south beyond the old county farm.
When roads look like ribbons I think of RAGBRAI...and smile.
Just a pretty little valley....
....followed by another. At the 10 mile mark, I headed east and worked the cross wind for 4.5 miles.
The last of the hills heading east toward Elviria, Iowa, before heading back south.
From beautiful hills to pancake flatness, I LOVE this route!!!
Low traffic on Hwy. 30 toward Clinton, Iowa.
Another example of why I love this time of year: John Deeres
pulling wagons of corn...this one down an on-ramp onto Hwy. 30.
With 3 miles left, this little guy thought I needed the 'what for'! He was crackin' me up
and helped me smile during the last miles of today's fun long run. Happy Wednesday!
