The Tulsa Run
Saturday was probably the last great milestone of the year for yours truly. I ran in the Tulsa Run 15k. (Answer to the Most Frequently Asked Question: 15k=9.3 miles.)I decided this was something I wanted to try about a month and a half ago when I first jogged all the way around Lake Hefner, which is 9.5 miles. I had done a couple 5ks and enjoyed having goals to work toward. My chip time on Saturday was 1:59:52, which is pretty slow compared to a lot of people in the race, but there were still quite a few people finishing well after me. Anyway, being absolutely noncompetitive, I try to avoid comparisons to others like one might avoid the plague. So the best part for me was that I beat my previous best pace by twelve minutes!
It was a beautiful course and the weather was pretty fantastic.
Here's to health and goals fulfilled!
