drove out to cushing, ok bright and early for the 25th annual run for mums.. signed up and did a easy jog around with some stretches and a quick port stop. I noticed Jenny and Scotty D came up as well and was somewhat surprised that Scotty was racing seeing how he was running the Praire Fire full tomorrow. I guess he was wanting the 200 bones to get him up there. 

I took off pretty hard from the get go and wanted to try and make a run at the 42 yr old single age record for OK (15:54) I knew this course was pretty good and I might have a shot at it. When i hit the hill and wind from mile 1-2 Scotty caught up with me and told me to tuck in as he did about half the work up the hill and into the wind. we turned back west into a neighborhood and the wind wasn't much of a factor. Scotty gapped me good on the down hill and I wasn't able to make up the gap. 

at mile #2 I was behind pace by a lot and knew deep down this wasn't gonna be the day. I was expecting to run much better. And know I have a much better 5k time in me...

on a positive note. I did win some mums and got a really cool looking t-shirt.

back to the grind...

Tulsa Run is in 2 weeks. Keep your eye on the prize. Also remember to water your mums.

Glad you went for it. Still got a solid run and if you factor in all variables...it was a very good race.
