Great news out of Indianapolis yesterday. The Tulsa Run 15K has been awarded the USATF Masters 15K National Championships for the next 5 years. Not that far of a drive for our most talented Nebraska masters, I’m hoping to see some at the start line this coming October 26th. The Tulsa Run was one of the most competitive races in the U.S. back in the 80s and 90s, it will be great to see a resurgence for the event and the city.
Oklahoma has a very unique and vibrant running scene. They certify and sanction over 250 races a year and have a firm belief that this makes for better events. Okies, maybe they’re on to something?
Speaking of Okies, my cousin Carrie’s son lost a good friend and training partner. And the X Games lost a super star. Caleb Moore was young and courageous and lived life like few dare. Prayers and meditations to his friends and family.
Thanks to those that reached out after yesterday’s column. Had a minor setback and it was reflected by my casting a harsh blanket. A hand towel would have sufficed. And all is better with the new day. Counting my blessings and looking forward to smiling the rest of the day.
