Running, bad journalism and barbecue

I ran 6 miles on Sunday. The longest I have ever run is 9 miles so it blows me away that I am so close to that amount. The 9 miles almost killed me. The 6 miles wasn't too horrible. We are doing Jeff Galloway's training so it is run for 4 minutes and walk for 1. It makes it totally doable. And, I'm not obsessed with how much further I have to go before I'm done. I'm only obsessed with getting 2 more minutes in before I get to walk. It is a much better mind game to play.

We went to see OSU play in College Station against Texas A&M on Saturday. Travis Ford, OSU's coach, got a technical foul. I have not seen any mention of the technical foul on the Tulsa World Web site. I easily could have missed the reference but I don't think I did. To me, the fact that a coach got a technical, is the lead! Coaches don't get technicals often. I think that other OSU fans would find that fact very interesting. In other media outlets they have discussed the technical so that's good. I'm disappointed with the World. I think that the newspaper has decided to play very nice so they can still get interviews with Ford. I think that's ridiculous. It is a newspaper for heaven's sake not an extension of the University's public relations athletic division.

On Saturday we also ate at Snow's barbecue. It was, once again, heavenly. I have decided that I am only going to eat Snow's sausage in my life.
