Another name for the Wilzetta Fault Line in Oklahoma, where the recent earthquakes have been rattling shelves and nerves. My dad reports being nearly “shaken out of the shucks” the other night and the smaller aftershocks have everyone just a tad on edge. I’ve made the trek across Oklahoma many times, it took years for me to appreciate the natural beauty of the state.
One thing they do well in OK is put on road races. Jack Wing, Bill McKee, and others have a long history of offering quality events. I particularly dig how they have their courses measured off, and marked in, kilometers. Every USATF Certified race. That is some great cooperation among races in order to serve the entire running community. Nice. They play some decent football down there too.
Threw down another set of 300s this morning. Temps in the upper 20s and a decent SW wind blowing around Millard West track, those were minor distractions as we worked the gifts. One to two seconds faster than Sunday’s set, “Itsa lika magic”.
The Omaha Run Club annual meeting is set for this Sunday out at the NRD building at Chalco. Always a great chance to catch up with old friends and competitors.
Please do mark your calendar now for the 2nd Annual Jingle Bell Run on December 24th. 1:00 pm start time at the Zorinsky boat ramps. Fundraiser for the Food Bank of the Heartland. More details soon.
And the 2nd Annual Hair Of The Dog Run on January 1st. Same 1:00 start time, same location. Clothing/blanket/gloves/hat drive for the area less fortunate.
April 7th, 2012, the 6th Annual Ni-Bthaska-Ke 12K & 4 Mile Trail Runs at Platte River State Park. Going to be offering some new twists on an old favorite!
