I ran quite a bit over the July 4th weekend. So far, weather-wise July has been more like an Oklahoma June...and June was more like a July. It was relatively cool and rainy for the holiday weekend (cool being high-70s to mid-80s). I went to a new park that Peggy suggested. I didn't even know it existed. It's called South Lake Park and is a mile or so south of Earlywine. It's a nice park with a couple of big ponds on either side and a mile and a quarter track.
I ran 5 miles there on Saturday the 3rd. Then I ran 3 miles at my usual park on the 4th then went back to South Lake Park on Monday and ran 6 miles. While on my 3rd lap or so Monday I came upon a young couple walking their dog around the track. As I got close to them I saw the guy was wearing a pair of Vibram Fivefingers. Not the same model as I have, but it was the first pair I've seen anyone in Oklahoma (besides myself) sporting. As I ran by them I said "Nice shoes!". They chuckled as the realized I was wearing a pair too.
Been kind of lazy since the weekend. I'll have to get a few miles in this weekend although the rainy weather pattern we've had is supposed to leave after today.
