I got off work a little early again today so I decided to go look at an apartment above Mr. Robert's Furniture on Main St. I one day aspire to be Mr. Robert because he owns a number of low priced apartments and houses in Norman. Basically, he's a slum lord and I respect that. Mr. Robert is Steve Calonkey's father who is a customer at OK Runner and often runs on the indoor track at night during the winter. Perhaps I will be living in one of his slums.
Anyway, I walked my way back to Campus Corner and enjoyed some coffee at Cafe Plaid before heading over to the track to meet Kristi for a jog. I put a call out to Owen on my walk and he was in a freezer at a liquor store buying booze for a Obama party. He told me I love running with girls and that's definitely true. There are people, like Tom, who claim running on rocky trails limits the speed at which one can run and therefore they won't get injured. However, the real reason why Tom runs solo on trails is because he's a loser and writes a terrible blog. I would rather run with people, have some good laughs and run slow, which makes girls good easy run training partners.
Kristi and I ran around campus south of Lindsey near the Lloyd Noble Center. I was telling her about the traffic last night and she informed me that it was actually the women who were playing. I believe the OU women are ranked #7 in the pre-season poll which means they should be pretty good this year. In fact, OU beat Western 132-36 last night. 132-36!!! Are you kidding me? That's a W by nearly 100 points.

Cool Morning
Time: 67:10
Distance: 9-10 miles
I got up and headed over to Scotty's house for a run. When I arrived Scotty was absent because he was helping his mom at a car mechanic shop, but there were plenty of cats about. The fluffy black one, Deek, greeted me with yellow eyes and a furled up back. He looked like the cat on a Halloween card, so I made sure that he didn't cross my path and ruin my day with bad luck. Scotty showed up seconds later and we ran along Pickard at a leisurely pace.
I was reading some articles last night and came across this from marketing idea from Reebok. It was a pretty clever display of ambush marketing in a sense by taking advantage of Nike's failures. Keith must be hoping the ploy works.

No Name Bugs Jilane
Time: 54:38
Distance: 8 miles
Scotty D and I met up at the track tonight around 6 pm for a run. My ears were just lowered over at Take 5 for Human Grooming so I was near by and Scotty is usually good for a jog. When I got to the track somebody was rolling out 400s and then I realized it was Sapp. Jessica Eldridge was at the track as well and she had just finished up some 500s. It was a great night for a run and an even better one for a workout. Chilly while standing, but warm when you got moving and, more importantly, no wind. Scotty and I ran down Jenkins, cut across by Lloyd Noble Center and then hit up the neighborhoods. I think the men's basketball team was competing in an exhibition game against the NW Dental School of Arkansas. I might be completely wrong, but there was action at the arena and that's the point.
Scotty and I finished back up at the track with some quicker laps in lane five. Our splits for the last three laps were 1:41, 1:37 and 1:37. Good stuff.
After the run we ended up at NY Pizza for a pitcher of Amber Bock. To our surprise Holly was there with a buddy and we got to talking about our strategy for McNellie's Pub Run. Basically we were discussing how to celebrate our victory and spend our tab.

This morning was an uneventful campus loop run that felt good. It was cold enough that I put on gloves for the first time. Not too much else to write home about.

McNellie's Pub Training Run & Monique's Cafe
Time: 31:44
Distance: 4 miles
I got off work a little early today when Scotty D came by the shop. We made our way over to Holly's house for a little McNellie's training prior to breadsticking. Holly and Saker were sitting on the porch sharing some scoops when we showed up for the run. There was a big pitcher sitting on the table with something that looked quite a bit like apple juice, it was in fact leftover beer from a keg that was appreciated over the weekend. The flat beer had been sitting in the pitcher since Monday when the keg had to be returned to the liquor store.
Scotty D, Skolnick and I were the only ones who were going to run this evening so we headed out for a short jaunt. Skolnick poured himself a Guinness before starting towards Campus Corner for the first part of our run. It was pretty dark and none of us were dressed in neon clothing so things got real considering the amount of traffic and number of puddles. We took a spin past Monique's Cafe which is where we were going to be dining in a few hours for our breadsticking outing. The place was empty, completely deserted, not a single patron. We looped back by the house and Skolnick enjoyed his beer while Scotty and I tried to drink the apple juice substance. I put the pitcher to my lips, got one taste, spilled more down my shirt, gagged and then handed it off to Scotty. He did a little better than I, but not great. That was rough. Absolutely terrible. I'd rather take a hot shot of whiskey.
The second part of the run was more eventful because a dog started chasing us. It was a friendly dog and just wanted to play, so I tested him out. I took off in a sprint to see how long Mr. Bojangles could hang. The answer? Not that far. I smoked that fool. After watching my brash celebration, Fido trotted back home tired and humbled.
We ended up at Monique's Cafe around 7 pm hungry for some authentic Caribbean cuisine. A crew of 6 started off and it soon swelled to 8. The food was great, but when we arrived there were still no customers. None. Zip. Zilch. People would come, look in the window and then walk over to Victoria's a pasta shop next door. I had the chicken curry roti, Holly had the Caribbean jerk chicken and Scotty had something with pork. Everyone enjoyed the meal including Aldwyn Sappleton. Sapp, as everyone calls him, joined us which brought immediate street cred to our table. It's not everyday you get to dine with an Olympian. The only disappointment of the night was when a fat Jamaican lady with colorful clothing, and a gap between her front teeth failed to greet us at the door with "a wan irie likkle place."

New Nation
Time: 64:39
Distance: 9 miles
The news of a new POTUS got me out the door to meet Scotty D for a run on the streets of Nompton. The plan was for me to run through campus along Brooks and for Scotty to run up from his house on Pickard. Usually our timing leaves one of us having to turn on the route towards the starting locale of the other, but not today. We met at the apex, right at Brooks and Pickard. Our plan to leave at 7:30 am worked out perfectly this morning. The run up to the GT was fine with a strong breeze at our backs, but the lap on the outer loop was rough on the backstretch. The wind got pretty real as we were running back along the train tracks as it probably topped out over 25 mph. The rest of the run was fun and both of us were excited for Obama.

President Elect Barack Obama
Time: 48:27
Distance: 7 miles
Today was an exciting day for obvious reasons. Barack Hussein Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States of America. Pretty sweet. Immediately following the announcement, I went outside to bury all of my guns and money and then I went to Wal-Mart to start stockpiling batteries, MREs and water. That is completely not true, but I know some members of a close family who basically were going to do all that. I mean, seriously!? The thought that an individual could bring the U.S. to complete failure within minutes of taking office is outlandish, but some people, fellow Americans, unfortunately have this belief. I know that at no point in my life will food, energy or water be a scarcity in the U.S., however for those who actually have those thoughts, I say it might be a good thing for their fat asses to go two weeks without food. They might look better afterward. Ha.
The run this morning was good. I ran from the Lodge through campus and around Pickard. The run was very similar to the one yesterday. The legs continue to feel good. Running in the LunaTrainer is sweet. It might be my favorite shoe of all time.
In the evening I suited up to go on a run but Gus and his "wu wu" backed out. He was feeling a little under the weather, or so he claimed, and we went home. I then followed the election on the computer and television for the rest of the night while making claims that Brooks is a racist company that doesn't hire people of color. A few days later I found this on FloTrack which backs me up.
Did you see any black people? I didn't think so.

OK Runner Boob Night
Time: 38:08
Distance: 5.75 miles
Tonight OK Runner had a Ladies' Night Event which involved a lot of bras and stuff that guys don't know or care much about. Tonight was the reason that Gus and I were waxing the floor yesterday and buffing the floor this morning. I cleaned a couple toilets, vacuumed and washed the windows too. Anyway, tonight involved a lot of work to make the store look good to our loyal customers.
The guys (Craig, Gus and I) got to leave around 6:40 when all the women started showing up to try on bras and prance around topless. Craig headed straight to Louie's while Gus and I went down to the old Champion's Bar & Grille to put on our running costumes. I was running through Brookhaven a few minutes into the run questioning why I felt so good. I should have been tired but there was a little extra in the step. I realized that the wind was blowing at my back and that the turnaround would not be fun. I made it to the corner of Rock Creek and 60th in just under 20 mins. which is a few minutes faster than I normally make it there. I decided that I would just turn the run into a decent effort and try to make it back faster than the way out. I kept the pace clipping along up the hill and back into the wind and I made it back to the Brookhaven Village parking lot just over 18 mins. Overall the run was enjoyable.
Afterward, I went to meet up with Craig and his buddies at the bar and Gus soon joined us. We enjoyed the $2 Blvd. Wheats later into the night. I even got to show Tom and Bart (Craig's buddies) a couple bar tricks. The first was a bust, but the second involving hovering beer bottles impressed them thoroughly.

Nompton Run
Time: 48:40
Distance: 7 miles
This morning I took a brief spin through campus and ran to Pickard. I didn't have any particular route in mind but I just wanted to take things easy. The legs were feeling pretty good and the weather continues to be amazing. I ran in a short sleeve shirt which I took off the last two miles of the run. I am getting pretty pale these days and was hoping to maximize on some early morning pre-work tanning. Not really, but that's what the weather has been like.

Week in Review
Time: 314:45
Distance: 46 miles
I had two days off this week, but I'm not too concerned. I enjoyed most of the runs this week, especially the ones early in Washington DC. I would almost go as far to say that DC is the best US city to catch a run. San Francisco is a pretty sweet place to run, but DC has so many prominent places to see and there is Rock Creek Park. It's a toss up for the fall season, but I guess I'll give the nod to DC. San Fran would definitely trump DC in the summer time running scene. I haven't spent enough time to rank NYC, but I know the best place to run is on the roads in Central Park. I'd still give the nod to SF or DC any day.

Tacos al Carbon
Time: 50:29
Distance: 7-8 miles
Gus and I finished up with the first half of the wax job and needed to let the stuff dry for about an hour which gave us a perfect amount of time to go find breakfast. Our first thought was to visit our good customer and friend Lynn Do who owns Sunny Side up along Robinson St. We got sidetracked a bit and made a quick detour to Ozzie's because I had never been there. Well, the place was packed and not with people dressed up like they had been at church. The place was filled with fat people from Norman who were looking for a ton of food at a low price. I wanted to join them, but it didn't happen. Next we went by Sunny Side and the parking lot was spilling over into the liquor store beside it. Maybe Norman is also full of drunks who needed a fix on Sunday morning around 10 am, but I think the Addiction/Ariel wearing Lynn Do was simply making a killing this morning.
Gus and I drove on looking for some other place that could use our business. We thought that McDonald's or Braum's might get it but we instead turned on Porter and spotted a shitty looking diner place with an open sign. Turned out that those wankers forgot to turn off the neon sign because they aren't open on Sundays. At this point Gus and I were getting pretty dejected and we started talking about opening our own breakfast place, it would only be open on Sundays. That's as far as our business plan got.
We took a quick spin through Campus Corner and saw that the place was crazy busy. People were waiting outside of Turquoise to get a seat, Starbucks looked packed and there were no accessible parking places in front of Cafe Plaid. We tossed around ideas of Denny's (woof!) and Ihop (Meagan's dad would approve) but then thought those wouldn't be wise. We figured that since OU played a night game against Nebraska (OU won big. In fact, they put up 35 points in the first quarter and 28 of them were scored in the first 5:33. They were on pace to score 154 points at that juncture...in the first half) a lot of people stayed in Norman and were getting breakfast before driving back to wherever Sooner fans come from. This didn't help our cause.
Gus took a short cut near Lowe's when we spotted a Peruvian restaurant, Mamaveca. They looked open, they probably had huevos rancheros (Gus' order, not mine) and they weren't busy. Mamaveca got our business on this day and I enjoyed the tacos al carbon with steak. It wasn't your typical Sunday breakfast, but it was good nonetheless. Gus and I left pretty full and were ready to finish waxing the floor. It didn't take as long as I had expected and I was still full from the breakfast that was more like dinner. I headed over to Starbucks for the afternoon and read an old Runner's World magazine to pass the time. I was hoping Scotty D would show up because I knew he was all jacked up after watching the NYC Marathon. Looks like he went on a 100 minute run instead. I chatted with Owen and my mom (not at the same time) during my stint at the 'bucks. Soon it was around 4 pm and it was time to head back to the east side of town so I got rid of the t-shirt and put on the headphones.
So that was pretty much my day. The run wasn't that interesting or eventful. I started clipping along Lindsey St. and finished strong. The legs felt good, which is good.

Wax On, Wax Off
Time: 39:32
Distance: 6 miles
I had to meet Gus at the store today because it was our duty to wax the floor. The plan was to meet at 8 am, wax part of the floor, eat breakfast, wax the rest of the floor. I was out the door a little after 7:20 and it usually take me about 45 mins to get to the store so I had to come up with a shorter route and run a bit fast than what would have been ideal. I felt decent out on the really foggy roads which is unusual for Norman. It wasn't cold but it was definitely not warm with the dense fog. I made it to the store a bit quicker than I thought it would take me and I immediately went to the computer to turn on the computer. The NYC Marathon was taking place in the 5 boroughs of the city. I won't take the time to recap the race, but you can read Letsrun.com's coverage of the event and find results there. I will say that the Americans performed well on the men's side taking 6th through 10th and Kara Goucher debuted at 2:25:53.

Day Off
Time: zero
Distance: zero
Yesterday was the Ivy League Heptagonal League Championships held at Van Cortlandt Park in NYC. I don't have anything relevant to my running to post about so I will post about my alma mater. I thought the Brown men's team would get no better than 6th place, but predicted them to get 7th. They battled to a 5th place finish and were led by Duriel Hardy's 7th place overall finish. Ben True from Dartmouth dominated the race and broke the course record previously held by Brown's Chris Schille. The course this year was slightly different from years past but I don't think it affected times much because it just changed the location of the start and finish which are located on a big flat open field. I would recap the women's race if I cared, but I don't, so I won't.
