Omaha is not what I would call the most beautiful city, but it has a benign pleasantness. Coming from Portland, Oregon, I am struck by the absence of homeless encampments in all of these cities I have been visiting. There is a lot of construction going on in the downtown area of Omaha.
The Blackburn Alternative High School turned out to be a good choice. It was only a mile or so from my hotel. There was a Boys and Girl Club right next door, and a bunch of kids spilled out of there for football practice just as I was arriving. It’s always nice to be around some activity when running in a new locale.
A long drive up from northern Missouri to Des Moines for a couple of sales calls, then over to Omaha – felt good to get out and stretch out the legs. First time on a track in awhile – been trail running at home in Utah for a couple of weeks since moving there.
