Master runner

after work ran with Shonda around lake Hefner..she wanted 17 miler and she got 17.5 my watch had me at 16.8 but think she ran a bit further while I made a port stop..Met up with J-Hat at about 13 and he finished up with us.

Shonda is working up to run her first Marathon in Phoenix this coming Jan. This was her longest run.

easy out & back

did a 6 miler before lunch today..windy solo...worked in a few 30 sec fartleks.

Plan on turkey trotting up in Edmond tomorrow with a crew of family and friends.

No pressure race, just working up a good hunger before the feast.

Drove my sister and boy up to Edmond for the Edmond Turkey trot..we got there bright and early to sign up. I really enjoyed the fact that they didn't gouge prices up for a family event..20 bucks was a decent price for race day. 

We had a nice crew representing OK  RUNNER today. Eric and I were 1&2.

We took off and a kid that runs for St Greg's Univerity jumped out pretty quick and Eric, myself and a couple of coyotes were with us.. going though the first half Eric  through in a couple of good surges to see who was for real.. My plan was to ride behind the bigger kid and or the bigger coyote going into the wind. I would guess the wind to be 15-20 out of the south. 

At the turn around I hopped right behind the kid and Eric was behind the coyote going up the lone hill into the wind. As we topped the hill i noticed the kid falling off pace and Eric surged real good at the top and I hopped in behind the coyote. Eric seemed to make a move to take the lead for good and he did.

I ran with the coyote for maybe a 1/4 mile and he fell off pace then i tried to catch Eric but fell short of cutting the gap he built. Ran the remainder of the race into a good headwind and was about 5 sec behind my good friend and training partner Eric.. I was good with OK Runner going 1-2. J-hat, Roger and Blake all placed well in their ag and my sister did fairly well too. Was really happy to have my son out at least doing the course as a walk- run. Maybe it will lead to something more in the future..

Happy Thanksgiving everybody. Turkey and Pie time.

ran through okc with andrew and kels from the boathouse...easy pace..cold, wet and windy.

met J-Hat at NHP for a out and back long run. We ran in freezing rain with tree's snapping all around us. Epic cold run
