I’m kind of getting into Trail Runs now. I have runs scores of road races of 5K, 8K, 10K, 15K, 20K, half marathon, and two full marathons but today I finished only my second trail run. They are fun.<\/p>\n

My latest was Sunday, the Post Oak Lodge Trail Run<\/a> at the Post Oak Lodge located in the Osage hills overlooking the city of Tulsa. They had multiple events over two days a marathon, 25K, and a 50K as well as the 10K event I ran.<\/p>\n

We ran through the woods<\/p>\n

Up hills, I thought this hill was bad enough. See the poles on the hill further on? Those aren’t poles. Those are people I’m afraid, that’s where we went.<\/p>\n

This is that hill on the way up.<\/p>\n

This is the view. Just in case you are wondering. They didn’t build all the downtown Tulsa buildings leaning to the right. That lean is courtesy of your photographer. I have software that would unlean the tilt, but I’m trying to keep it real on this blog. You being critical? Then you run up that hill and take a level picture.<\/p>\n

The photograph of the sign didn’t come out. It said something like Burger’s and Beer inside! I ask you what kind of person would drink beer at 10 am Sunday morning? I can’t imagine such a thing. It’s too awful to even contemplate. Some folks are just beyond contempt. I’m just a saying. The idea. But what if somebody was all confused and thought it was Saturday. That’s understandable.<\/p>\n

\"20100228_6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Old Glory at the Finish Line.<\/p>\n

And they had these fancy little metal doodads for finisher awards. Beats a finisher ribbon. I’ve got the greatest collection of finisher ribbons in the world. Now I’ve got a finisher paperweight. A NICE paperweight.<\/p>\n

What do you get when you run in the mud?<\/p>\n

\"20100228_23\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Muddy feet that’s what. The last time I ran in a trail race my shoes stunk for a month. I couldn’t even keep them in the garage. I had to put them on the back porch. I’ve learned a lot about cleaning them. I think.<\/p>\n

Of course I didn’t run for the recognition, no glory, nor fortune, nor the free beer, peanut butter sandwiches at the water stations, the opportunity to play in the mud. You know what I ran for?<\/p>\n

\"20100228_27\"<\/a><\/p>\n

THE SHIRT!! Silly.<\/p>\n

A nice New Balance technical long sleeve shirt in this case.<\/p>\n

Nope, you can’t have it. I’m being selfish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
