Day 2: Ann Arbor to Lincoln

Destination: Lincoln, Nebraska
States I drove through today: Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa

After a long first day on the road, I visited a little with Mark and Katie, but it didn't take long before it was lights out on the Driscoll/Gwyther futon. This morning started with an early 5:30am rise and a 32 min shakeout run with Mark on the "rehab loop" (named so because of it's very forgiving wood-chipped surface). And though I thought I had been to every fine cuisine in the Ann Arbor area, I was pleasantly surprised when Mark and Katie brought me to a nice 24-hr diner for breakfast. This little "hole in the wall" had some amazing "hippie-hash" (a combination of hash browns, ham, veggies, and feta cheese) and some quality java to prepare me for another long drive ahead.

(Left my camera in Medford so this was taken with the "runner-cam")

The drive went pretty smooth and I arrived at Ann's house in Lincoln around 7pm. We had a great meal at Bison, saw the new athletic facility (Alter-G and all ...amazing!) and then zonked out in front of the TV for a while with her roommates Joslyn and Ari. Now for some sleep on this incredibly comfortable (and huge!) couch as I get ready for Day 3 of "JC's move to Cali".
