Ran 6

I ran 6 miles today down at the river. It was a wonderful break from the treadmill. I'm looking forward to the weather getting warmer so that I can continue to up my mileage. After the winter on the old "dreadmill" I am eager to hit the trails again. Running at the river means I must run past a casino that was recently built next to the running trail. This place stretches about a mile long. You really have to watch the traffic at this spot. The place is like a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. My heart breaks for those people who are wasting their lives in pursuit of things that have no eternal value. I prayed for a woman I passed on the trail as she was leaving her work at the casino. I am so thankful for my run today and the beautiful weather.

Have a blessed Easter

Hi, Terri...How is the Tulsa Route 66 half marathon? I'm looking into running that. I saw you are running in either the half or full...just wondering if you have run it before and is the course hilly or especially difficult? I have never run in a race before and am just looking into it. Thanks!

Oh Kim, That would be such a great race for you to run. I have not run this particular one, but have had a couple of friends who did and they had good things to say about the race organization as well as the post race “party”. I plan to do the half. The Riverside part of the course is FLAT. The downtown part would be rolling, but from the sound of your hill training would not be difficult at all. I've run the downtown area before in other races and they are not bad at all just rolling. I'm glad to hear you are considering a race they can be a lot of fun. Let me know, I can help you with various information =)

Thanks for the info...I am also looking into the 15 K...I'm not sure what I am going to do. I may have more questions later if I decided...like on hotel recs and such. Do you actually live in Tulsa?

Kim, I live just minutes outside of Tulsa. I have run the 15k several times so if you have any questions about that just let me know.
