Day 295 -- Manhattan

Ooops. Wrong Manhattan.


There, that's better. This, of course, is the statue of Johnny Kaw, the Pioneer Kansas Wheat Farmer. This 30-foot statue was erected in 1966 in the Manhattan city park. Apparently, Kansas was just kind of jealous of other states having mythical heroes like Paul Bunyan, so they just made up Johnny Kaw.

I ran 11 miles today, my longest run of the year. In fact, my last 11 mile run was December 17, two months and one day ago. I really feel pretty good, although I think that my legs will be feeling it tomorrow. But it was worth it.
