Faster Than Oprah: FTO does OKC
http://fasterthanoprah.blogspot.com/2010/04/blog-post.html
Tuesday, April 27, 2010. Congratulations to all the FTO runners who ran in the OKC Marathon last Sunday. It seemed like the session just flew by, although thinking back of all the bitterly cold Saturday runs, maybe it did go by a little slower that it seems. Maybe it's just senility setting in? Even Sunday morning, remnants of cold mornings were trying to show a presence in OKC. Tom W was dressed warm as always, looking like he just wandered in off the Alaskan tundra. Just look at this game face! With ve...

Faster Than Oprah: 12 miles, light rain, done!
http://fasterthanoprah.blogspot.com/2010/01/12-miles-light-rain-done.html
Saturday, January 23, 2010. 12 miles, light rain, done! Our group leaders were scrambling this am.what with TZ being late and Lisa getting her out-of-the-chute pee out of the way. She was hustling to catch up as she blew by me. I was finishing my cup-o-joe and walked most of the 1st mile whilst taking pics of the hundreds of RW runners. But here she is with her daughter, and her little doggie. I knew I was catching K2 from about a mile away. A quick head count showed we were about 3 heads short, so I hea...

Faster Than Oprah: March 2010
http://fasterthanoprah.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 18, 2010. Are you excited about the Snake Run? Let's start packing for our first 20 mile run! Some of us met up at Turkey Mountain Tuesday and got a preview of the snake trail. While there was some mud (and Ken threw in a few rocks I don't remember), overall it was a great run and no one has cursed me (out loud) for whispering that this race existed. And what does dirt trail rain =? So a few words from experience . . . I ran a 50k on Turkey Mt in September (Turkey and TATURs, great race!

Thursday, January 28, 2010. This Saturday we are scheduled to run 6 miles. The route is pretty simple. At this point in time, it is anyone's guess what it will be like. Fun perhaps, if you like adventure. We are meeting Saturday at 7:45 am at Veteran's Park. A few people have asked me recently about "screw shoes". Lisa's email referred to them in the title "To Screw, or Not to Screw", a title that was a sure attention grabber to say the least. :-). Does it seem like this is just a recap of the email?

Faster Than Oprah: 7 inches and 6 miles
http://fasterthanoprah.blogspot.com/2010/01/7-inches-and-6-miles.html
Sunday, January 31, 2010. 7 inches and 6 miles. Some runners are just "die-hard", "hard-core", or just plain tough. A great show of this sort of fortitude was on display Saturday morning. While most of the throng of RunnersWorld runners stayed in the warmth of their homes, and off the dangerous icy streets, a few came out for their assigned miles.not because they had do, but because the thought of frolicking through the snow sounded FUN! Tom, Lisa, and I wait for Eddie, who helps with another group. ...

Faster Than Oprah: February 2010
http://fasterthanoprah.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 23, 2010. I have not been able to find a lot online about Oprah's training and her race, but I did find a short blurb about Oprah's 1994 marathon. For the elites who "poo pooed" her efforts, she did run it in 4:30, and I think she was GOOD for the marathon, not a "ruin" to it like some her critics. A glitch in my camera or camera cable resulted in more than a hundred pictures being lost from the last week or so. :-( There'll be more next week though.PROMISE! Thursday, February 11, 2010.
