I got up pretty early in order to get the run done in time for the Iowa State-Iowa Cy-Hawk game at 2:30. After a big breakfast Janelle, Todd, Sammy and I drove back to Owasa where they dropped me off to start the marathon to their home in Grundy Center. It was quite a bit warmer than the overnight low of 34 but still in the mid-40s.
This was perhaps one of the best days of running of the entire trip. I maybe saw 20 cars the whole day, didn't get a drop of rain, and had sunny skies and cool temperatures. I stopped at the gas station in Steamboat Rock for some food and later had to jump on the Pioneer Trail, a very well taken care of rails-to-trails trail, to get around a bridge that was out in the town of Holland. I finished, visited with the Onnen's neighbor Carol for a bit, showered, and left for Todd's brother's garage in town to watch the game.
The group of Hawkeyes fans were in pretty good spirits until they blew a lead and lost to the Cyclones on a last second field goal. After hanging around a bit after the game, we returned home to watch more college football for the rest of the evening. I would get to continue relaxing tomorrow as Todd and Janelle generously offered me a rest day at their home.
