Running Down a Sub-4 Miler

Time: 58:34 and 7:05
Distance: 8.46 and .91 miles
Pace: 6:55 and 7:46

I spent a few hours at Michelangelo's this morning attempting to track DeCoste during his marathon debut out in Eugene. The Strands.com website was difficult to navigate and I couldn't figure out where the athlete tracking was. Just before leaving the coffee house I saw he had crossed the line in 2:34 and some change. Great race. Congrats.

Scotty and I headed out for a run towards campus where we dropped a shirt at Cafe Plaid and then proceeded through campus. We spotted some dudes in OU gear jogging down Jenkins and we slowly caught them near the train tracks. Turned out to be Jacob Boone (sub-4 guy) and two others I had never met before. We ran along Robinson and back past Westwood GC. It was good catching up on the going-ons with the OU team. Boone won't be racing again until conference when he toes the line in the 1500.

After the run Scotty, Skolnick and I went to the senior capstone presentations in the Fred Jones Jr. Museum. We scored some freebies in the snackroom upstairs. Good lunch and decent art.

Feeling heavy Scotty and I ran back to Main St. and then walked over to Andrews Park where May Fair was going on. Local artists were showing some of their pieces but the chilly temps and gray skies kept huge crowds away. Scotty and I are two of the most cultured individuals in Norman. How many art shows did you go to this weekend?
