Hit the road to the Big D for a couple days. I have been having some mild tightness and sciatica issues in my left hamstring, which isn't anything out of the ordinary but after driving a manual car and hitting traffic, I was really stiff. I called it a night after a quick sampling of the Hennepin Brewery Saison, which was very solid. I got up early to head over to White Rock Lake and jump in a 15k race. I was wanting to get 20ish miles in, but ended up doing a long warmup, 10 mile steady run(banditted the race) and quick cool down for about 16.5-17. Temp was just below freezing but the the windchill off the lake was in the single digits and I felt none too stellar even while wearing more clothing than 75% of the other idiots out there. When I got to the car, my buddy Ging from Thailand via Enid, OK just happened to spot me and so we headed out quickly after I managed to avoid a slight mishap and altercation with some Mercedes driving broad. That afternoon, I headed over to the Dallas Museum of Art. It is a nice museum with very contemporary trappings and a varied collection of pieces from around the world. For dinner, we headed to Texas de Brazil which is a spectacle of a place with churrascuria and an awesome salad and hors d' ouvres. I had a nice Malbec to wash down everything. I would say I definitely held up my end of the stick in terms of consumed tonnage and so I left the restaurant in a blissful, if somewhat pained state. I made one more stop with my sister and Ging at the Dubliner located a little ways off the Uptown district. This was a pretty laid back but well-frequented bar with a good beer list and the Fox Soccer Channel on the big screen. Hit the hotel coffee and treadmill in the morning and then skipped town.
This morning, I got the long run in, picking up Skolnick part way. I still was feeling sub-par but after I finally got moving in the last 45' or so I felt better albeit somewhat hamstrung: 2:35 total, 21ish.
The museum options in Norman are brought to us via the university. I'm a big fan of the OU museum of art. I try to hit their Fredfilms as often as possible.
