I missed last Saturday’s group run because I was at a family reunion in Kansas, but I did manage to get in a 12 mile run on the way too hilly streets of Ozawkie.
I didn’t feel that good on the run and almost quit after 6 miles, but I stuck in there and finished the miles that I had planned on running. By the way, Ozawkie isn't a very big town, and I ran on every street (except for some very short dead ends) at least once, and some streets as many as four times. The hill in the picture above was hit four times, twice in each direction. Almost too steep to run down, and on one of the trips up it was too steep for me to run up, so I walked a bit.
I hope you all had a good run and a good Independence Day weekend. I know some in our group (Stormy and Sam and maybe others that I don’t know about) competed in the 50 mile Midnight Madness race. Be sure and congratulate them and ask to see their blisters.
This Saturday is the Poker Run, which will start at Veterans Park at 7:00 a.m. For a minimum five dollar donation you can receive cards during your five mile run, and the ones with the best poker hands at the end will receive prizes. You don’t have to participate in the Poker Run to run with the group, but it is fun, and there is a good chance that you will win something good. I will have to miss the Poker Run because I have a church meeting that I really need to be at. I hope to get in a run sometime in the afternoon or evening.
Tomorrow (Thursday) is our interval workout, starting at RunnersWorld at 5:30 p.m. I had 20 x 200 meters planned, but Patty says she would rather do 800 meter repeats, so I guess we will decide when we get to the store.
So, I guess I will see you all on Thursday, Monday, or a week from Saturday.
Take it on the run!
TATUR Dave
