70 Min Run (base) --168.5--

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Great morning trot with Dan Maz. The idea was to get a run in, which turned into running on campus, which turned into starting at the Lansing River Trail just west of MSU. Pretty great plan. Paths the whole way. Extremely good weather for a run. Great to see the campus again and see where the ol' Red Cedar goes when it's not flowing through campus.

The band was practicing. The campus has a bunch of new construction -- two new baseball fields, soccer pitch, a new little home for Sparty outside the stadium...plus, the team is out in full pads so good time thinking about the season ahead. Plus, with early arrivals from grad school and international students, the place was good to be around...bunch of nerds walking around politely and calmly, like a real school. Got into the biz school to hit the can. Got to plod through Cedar Village without having a bottle thrown at us. Hope to make this run a regular thing when in Michigan. Awesome.
