Norman Fun Run

Time: 76:21
Distance: 11 miles

After a big meal at On the Border last night I woke up feeling rather full. However, not nearly as full as Oscar would be if he completed his hot dog challenge which he claimed last night he could eat 30 Nathan's sized dogs in 15 minutes. The conversation quickly turned to a potential competition that could be held annually to coincide with the Brookhaven Run. Would it be possible to eat 30 dogs in less time it took the top runner to complete the 5k course? Great question, no? Each year depending on the runner's ability the hot dogger would have more/less time to eat 30 dogs.

Scotty and I met up along Brooks St. just west of campus and had a plan to pick up the pace as the run went on. I was hoping to get in a more uptempo run that would be close to 6:00 pace. We tossed around the idea of running on a known loop but opted not to with the thinking that the run would get a little out of hand by trying to run each mile a little faster. As we ran east along Robinson the pace was clipping along and continued as we ran along the train tracks back towards campus. Once we parted ways around Trout and Brooks I picked up the pace just a touch and finished back at the Lodge feeling relaxed.
