Made it all the way to Omaha, but now my rear end is sore from sitting all day and that's leading to a weird pain in my left leg. I hope that doesn't affect my running on Saturday.
Omaha is way better than I remember! (I made a college visit to Creighton with some classmates from St. Henry's Prep Seminary during our senior year of high school back in 1984 or 1985. Do you remember that guys?) Omaha's developed their riverfront with walking paths, fountains and places to eat and have a drink. to Lots of beautiful, new construction downtown: 40-story office building (BIG for Omaha), a hip rehabbed area called Old Market District, of warehouses that are now lofts, bars, shops and restaurants, including one offering Persian food! Reminded me of Laclede's Landing in St. Louis, but only better. People actualy live in the Old Market District. Laclede's Landing's curse is that it is disconnected from living spaces and relies heavily on tourist traffic to stay afloat.
However, my favorite meal of the day was in Columbia, MO when we stopped at Shakespeare's Pizza. Ann made the amazing discovery of pizza-by-the-slice which saved us 45 minutes of wait time. We both tried the canadian bacon with pineapple. DELICIOUS!!!

Sounds like a great first day! Hard to top Shakepeare's Pizza!!!
No wonder your butt hurts -- you've done nothing but ride in a car, eat, and drink latte! Shake it up, dude! Hi Ann.
