Des Moines

For work I travel around the country managing the photography for the Color Me Rad 5k fun run. On these trips I like to run the course the day before, mainly for the exercise, but also because I get to see some really cool places, and you just don't get that same experience driving in a car. On this day in Des Moines I was almost done with the run (I did a variation on it to log more miles) and the sun was just setting at the right time and it was perfect. The only thing though, was that I was a mile from my camera, and the sun had about 15 minutes before it set. I clocked the best mile I have ever run. It's amazing what a little motivation can do for your run.
