A new view on Des Moines

OK. Admittedly I was a little harsh on this fine Midwest city in yesterday's post.

This morning, as I headed out for my morning jog, I discovered a nicer Des Moines. Going out on foot will do that. I found a nice macadam/cement path called "Riverwalk" along the Des Moines River and had a nice, 52-minute jog. It's a nice looking town from this view, and there was a lot of activity and bustle this morning out there.

OK. Time to shower and head off to Drake Stadium. A total of 12 women advance in the 1,500 out of a field of two sections of 10. Here's hoping Jackie Gamboli is one of the athletes that advance.
