six point eight

kirsten and i ran 6.8 miles last nite. it was good, but my upper hammies and gluteus max are pretty dang sore. it was our long run for this week, and is actually my longest in about three months. in two weeks we do 8. we were pretty nervous b/c we weren't sure if we were ready, but we talked the whole time (which will tell you something about our "speed") and we really enjoyed it. i am so proud of kirsten, i have been running longer than she has but one wouldn't know it. she is amazing.

i wonder how all of the other trainers out there are doing? i know the one i am married to has stopped the training part of training. i am sad b/c i know he can do it, anyone can, but i understand that it is really hard for both of us to train for this thing at the same time and not sacrifice too much of our time together. especially with all of the other things we have going on during the week.

there is talk of doing the tulsa run coming up soon. my friend mary catherine works for SEMGROUP, which is a big time company (she is kind of a big deal ;)) in tulsa, and she asked me to run it a long time ago. she does a lot of the runs in tulsa and ran her first marathon a few years ago. she is also amazing. anywho, her boss is the "celebrity runner" for this tulsa run and many people in the company are participating. SEMGROUP is a pretty big supporter of OU football, they are a big time sponsor and i hear that they have a pretty sweet suite in the stadium. okay i am officially rambling.

later players.
