 Is anyone here planning to run any races in Tulsa? I just ran in the "Run For The Son"  5K Race  on Labor Day, (ParkView Baptist Church race Sheridan & 60th) and I came in with grim time results a bit over 27:00+, and 4th place in my age group..The course was a bit hilly I'm not too good on hills that may of accounted for my poor times.. I ran the Hunger 5K back in June with a simular time... This Saturday there is another race "Route 66 CPA 5K" is anyone here planning to run it? It starts & finishs at the H.A. Chapman Stadium on 11th street. I'm trying to beat my PR 5K time of 25:33 and keep coming up too slow. October 29th is the famous Tulsa Run 15K dunno if I'll enter that it'll be crowded. I find longer races are more easy to run than a 5K. The 5K race I ran on Labor Day offered a big breakfast for the runners after the race and fun & games all day long. They also had many door prizes.

All my racing is done on two wheels these days with the exception of the McNellie's Pub Run in November.  Nothing like running on a full stomach of Guiness.

That may be the most 'Tulsa' thing said this year.  Smiley

I just ran the "Route 66 CPA" 5K race this morning, over 400 runners took part. I improved my time but still fell short of my 25:33 goal my personal record 5K time... I came in 3rd place in my age group with a time of 26:07. The FinishLine was in the Chapman stadium ball park, as I was turning the corner to go into the ballpark I saw the FinishLine clock reading 25:54, 25:55, 25:56 and so on so I knew then I missed my goal. The last 100 meters before the turn was a uphill grade and that slowed me down. It was still a ton of fun everyone had a good time. I met some other runners who also ran in the 5K race on LaborDay last week.

As a result of the race I did get two free tickets to a ballgame on November 12, 2011 that I can't use if anyone wants 'em let me know. The next big race is the Tulsa 15K run October 29th, 2011-  9.3 miles- If I can hold a good pace I should be able to finish it in the upper 80's- but not likely. Cheesy

My personal best for running a mile was 5:45. Way back in Jr. High school. I was never able to even come close again. Then I was happy to run multiple miles at around 7:30 in my 30's. Then 8:30 in my 40's.

I don't time myself now.

5 years ago I did a 5K in 22:05... back when I was doing a ton of the local 5K races, 10Ks and Tulsa runs
I don't do nearly as much running or cardio now and would probably struggle to break 26-min

It would take too long to go over everything that would happen around me if I tried to run a significant distance.

That is some very impressive running, I ran alot faster too when I was younger. I was on the track team in school however, I don't have a clue of my times from back then- I didn't pay that much attention to them. According to the race results I did a Kilometer at the pace of 5:14, one Kiometer is about 5/8 of a mile. Running is a sport I really enjoy alot, before a  race there is alot of excitement in the air, after the race it feels like a big let down everything is over. My 3rd place prize was a clay coffee mug- white with the blue Route 66 CPA logo on it and the date September 10, 2011.

You could time my 5K with a calendar right now.

October 29th is the Tulsa Run 15K, (9.3 Miles) not sure if I'll enter it, I guess a few thousand runners enter it since it's a very popular race. I don't expect to win anything in that race if I sign up, but I may run it for the sport of it and see how I do. I figure I'll just go at my regular jogging pace, what ever my time is so be it. I can do 6 mile runs in the mid 50's.
