Possum Kingdom

Jordan and I put in some good work yesterday morning on the roads consisting of 2.5mi tempo loop, 2x mile, 2.5mi tempo with a minute jog between each. I had some rare morning GI issues and only managed to run 5:06 for the miles whereas Jokin was 5flat. I did feel good on the tempo portions though. I'm convinced that although I stayed up too late at McNellie's the night before, I was ideally fortified from a couple courtesy Black&Tans and accordingly able to grit through the rough parts. This morning I had some dead legs early on but loosened up alright towards the end of an easy 10. So, after the run I had to bike over to the tag agency to pay some registration crap and managed to bump into Todd Maycumber, who for those not in the know was the OU XC coach during some of the most unillustrious years of the program. I don't fault him at all for the performances and think he's a pretty good dude but the university only awarded the program like 1.5 scholarships at that ...
