I mention running with the TOTs. Most readers know--I think--what a TOT is, but I'll explain for those who don't. Our trail running club TATUR (Tulsa Area Trail and Ultra Runners) has group runs on Sunday mornings and Tuesday nights. Originally, we called the training group the TATUR TOTs, with TOTs standing for Training On Trails. The name was shortened to T-TOTs, and finally just TOTs.
We started out small but the numbers have grown and the Sunday crowd has had 70-75 runners at times. We break up into sub-groups--walkers, the super fast group, and the relaxed pace runners (the best crowd to run with!!) I lead this contingent, and we lope along, waiting at the top of a hill, or at a major intersection to make sure we have everybody. Our pace is one where you can chat and actually take in the sights along the way. I think it's fun going at a pace that does not wipe you out. Evidently it's fun enough that we are pushing 75 runners on Tuesday evenings too.
My Sunday Supermediates stop for a photo-op by the washing machine. (I know, it's really a dryer, but it is more commonly referred to as the Washing machine.)
Occasionally someone stubs a toe and bites the dirt. Not much damage done here, but this WAS a first fall.
Sunday morning, Kelly took a tumble not once but twice. Dirt AND blood. Impressive!!
Our Tuesday run is winding down. We stopped for a short breather and a pic before we hit the final half mile to our cars.
Join us!! Sunday at 7:30 am, and Tuesdays at 6:30 PM.
