It's the feel good hit of the fall...

Hi all-
I come to you from Catlett music center, upstairs in some sort of practice hall. After a failed attempt at buying drinks for a group of 2 more mature (read 26-30) ladies and a gent on the patio at the Library and getting politely applauded for my gesture, and getting pretty blitzed myself, I rambled across the street and percussed a bit to unwind on the kettle drums. Damned if I can't seem of age with this new shorn image and I seemed to just get the typical talk of whether I was in college and on a frat brat dare. If they only knew of my utter contempt of Frats. I also had a guy a the hotel this past weekend ask me what I eat the night before a marathon and I replied with the standard high carb talk to which he joked about whether beer could be included if only I were 21. I love the Library but after hours it seems to migrate towards a mature crowd and I just tried to associate with some of my Norman brethren since I am of a more mature age, to no avail. At least had fun embarrasing myself and I think the waitress appreciated my highly witty banter on gnomes. Enjoyed several pints with Sacker and Penis and his lady as well as Tillman, Barry, and some other assorted folk. Good times were had and I almost threw up on Sacker which is always a plus-but I would like to know the name of the lass drinking the Optimator...

Just to the Right

That would be the theme for last night's outing to OKC with der boys. The trend of feeling off continues to overwhelm and I can't help but chalk it up to the "smorgasboard effect." Contemporary wisdom tells us that fusion is all the rage and who am I to blow against the wind? At some point however, I think that can lead to an assemblage frought with gastronomic peril and, worse, something that gives little Scotty D a tummy ache. Cue the scene, we had put down a few stouts and pale ales prior to departure from Stu's. I, of course, was lauded for my incredible driving ability over the perhaps 2 mile route to Cheever's. Upon arrival we ordered a couple bottles of vino and some apps. I think this is where the trouble began. The first combo would be the Malbec/Hummus/Fried Calamari/Pinot combo only to be outdone by the proceeding Merlot/Nacho/Pecan, Chocolate,& Ice Cream Ball conglomeration. Stu knew something was up and opted for a jog back to the house where ...

I'm spreading the gospel in a few other forums. Firstly, I'm going to be remarking to the appeal of Okie fitness advocates, hopefully including crossfitters, at okathletes.com . Additionally, I'm keeping a training log at Fast Running Blog , where there are a few other Oklahomans, namely Jason Butler and Jake Buhler along with some other salty characters. I needed somewhere to tally the training miles so right now it will be this place, although I'm well aware there are probably better online training logs. I'm back to logging some miles, feeling fitter and having good company from Asher, I think his secret is recovering well, utilizing the most comfortable places to sleep and plenty of strides chasing squirrels.

some ups and downs

I ran the Little Rock Marathon last weekend, finishing in 2:28:30ish. The race director took good care of all the elite runners, giving both the 1/2 and fullers the option of staying in the race hotel 2 nights prior to the race. I will note that their standards seem fairly relaxed and yet they gave us some nice little perks, with staging areas before and after and dinner before and whatnot. I again have to tip my hat because this is clearly not the norm in today's race circuit and if it is offered, there is often a very limited number of allowed elite spots. I had contacted the Woodlands marathon for instance and was not going to be offered any more than a comped entry, even though the marathon field was very limited. I have a number of issues surrounding this phenomenon but will just make note of the races that make an effort to help someone like myself. The course at Little Rock is quite winding and undulating for about 18 miles but then smoothes out and allows for a steady fin...
