We finally caught a break in the weather because when I woke up this morning it was sprinkling a bit. I was told that it was in the upper 60s which is about 10 degrees cooler at the start than recent mornings. I jogged up to the corner of Timberdell and Jenkins where I met up with Carrot Top, Scotty D, Conor Holt and Camille Herron. Conor and Camille are in town visiting family for a few days. Mr. Holt is a former Sooner, OK Runner employee and is the course record holder at the OKC Marathon. He is currently the men's distance coach at Purdue. It was great finally getting to meet the legendary Conor Holt a few nights ago at Jazz in June and even better to put in a run together.

We ran around Norman with no particular direction and even ran into former 1500m school record holder Salah Hussein. Conor gave us a few stories about running in Norman and some of his training philosophies at Purdue. It was a nice change of pace for the longer run. The legs felt strong and I was relaxed for the entirety of the run.

I need to add a new name to the collective list of munters, mingers and wagons. A slapper is basically the equivalent of mmw.
