This weekend was the annual River Run. It's always an awesome race and this year we had the best weather ever. The times were really fast this year. I was fortunate to hang on with a 6 minute mile average for 17th place overall in the 10K. The 2 mile was more difficult and I ended up out of the top 20 this year, maybe next year ha.
The best thing about the River Run is getting to see everyone. This year I had the great pleasure of seeing many of the running crew and folks that I haven't seen in a while. After the race I had a great surprise when I saw Toni and Charlie from Iowa. It was totally awesome to catch up with them.
We also had the first live marketing endeavor for www.goplaykansas.org . It's going to be an awesome website, so be sure to check it out. It will launch officially sometime this June, so look for good things soon.

Minneapolis APA Conference 2009
 |
| APA National Conference Minneapolis |
A couple of weeks ago I traveled to Minneapolis for the national American Planning Association conference. It was a great event and I learned a lot during it. I took advantage of the opportunity to learn a lot about bicycle facility planning and transportation related design.
There are many amazing things about Minneapolis, especially the bicycle community. I was shocked to learn that they have the second highest number of people who report bicycling or walking to work (according to the US Census).
