A few of the girls who live by us are really great runners. I, as you probably know, am not a great runner. :) Well a couple girls, Ali Thuerer and Tiffany Boss, who are good runners decided to run the Kansas City Marathon. A group was also running it as a relay. They asked me to run a portion. So Dave and I went to Kansas City with. I ran 4 of the 26 miles; my part had a pretty good hill so it was a good run. Running in it really gave me a greater desire to continue running. I don’t know if I would ever want to do a full marathon but I would like to run half sometime.
The trip was so much fun. Dave has been studying so much lately so it was a well deserved break for him. He had Monday off for fall break so I took the day off and we were able to stay in Kansas until Monday afternoon.
Kansas City is a great city. It is really big! Before we left everyone at my school kept telling me that I had to get BBQ while we were there. They are known for their BBQ. We found a fabulous restaurant! Oklahoma Joe’s. It is in a gas station on a random corner, totally looks ghetto, BUT it was delicious! I never realized how tasty BBQ could be. Hands down the best I’ve ever had. Our whole party loved it. Dave even added it to our book of best restaurants.
So if you are ever in KC, Kansas look them up and stop by. :) You will not regret it. Ha ha I am beginning to sound like an advertisement.
We also went to a pretty cool shopping center too. It is called the Plaza. It is a really ritzy outdoor mall. There are tons of fountains and cool old buildings, so it was fun to walk around there. We found out that KC has more fountains than any city in the world besides Rome. Pretty cool.
