Weekend in Review: Running

Well, I meant to publish this on Monday, but life gets in the way sometimes. I was scheduled to run 7 on Friday, 4 on Saturday, 20 on Sunday, and off on Monday. I woke up late on Friday and was a little weary of running that night with the storms moving in, especially with T. I figured out that the best plan would be to knock out the 20 on Saturday morning while T was with her dad, get the 4 out of the way on Sunday afternoon, and run 7 on Monday morning instead of taking the day off. I started out my Saturday somewhere around 5am. The weather was perfectly cool with some nice wind. I was too lazy to drive to Draper to meet up with the group there, so I opted for 20 solo miles around Norman.  This was actually the first time I’ve ever ran more than 18 miles by myself. Things were feeling pretty good for the first 12 miles or so, other than feeling really sluggish from eating junk on Friday night. There’s a TON of vegan junk food out there, and I don’t recommend eating any o...

Up Next: Turkey N Taturs! Race Report by Leslie Driskill

Image
Nothing noteworthy has happened the past few weeks. Sleep, run, eat, work, eat, eat, eat, kids, read, eat. Repeat. Well, this weekend will change all that. I’ll be running the Turkey N Taturs 50K in Tulsa. Check out the course map here .  I’ve been a little obsessed with this race the past few years. I read about it when I first started running marathons, but was always too scared to register. There’s just something a little intimidating about 31 miles on the side of a mountain, even if it is just a glorified hill compared to other mountains. Plus, I’ve never finished a marathon and said, “I wish I could go run 5 more miles!!” However, last year I won a free entry into any TATUR race and decided it was time. I registered. I told a few friends. I heard stories about how tough the course was. I heard stories about how easy the course is. I worried myself sick the night before and barely got any sleep. I thought about not even showing up to the starting line because I was afraid I...

The challenges of a housepig

Image
Overall, Charlotte has been a great pet so far. For those of you who don't know, Charlotte is a stray pig I found one night while out running. I never would have considered owning a pig as a pet, but I actually think she has been less trouble than the other pets I have had. She doesn't mark her territory, is clean, doesn’t shed, and is funny. She goes to sleep as soon as I turn the lights out. She interacts with us, follows us around the house, and begs for food. She takes off running if I suddenly cough, and gets excited about corn and watermelon. I can leave her alone during the day. She has a funny personality and is generally pleasant. However, having a housepig isn’t always easy. Many of you have made comments like “I kinda want a pig now!” I’m sure most of the people who say this have no real intention of running out and obtaining a pig, but just in case someone is, here are some of the hassles of pig ownership. Having a pig indoors is about like having a second two-yea...
