    ATOT Marathoners (or half-marathon runners)

    I didn't start running until my late 30s...I'm 41 now. Ran my first half marathon in Oklahoma City back in spring 2005. Finished in 1:50. Ran my first full marathon in fall 2006 in Tulsa...4:19. I was on a 4 hour pace through almost 20 miles...then the cramps hit. That last 6.2 was b r u t a l...

    Jog or a bike ride

    And if biking is your thing, please act like a civilized human being. Please obey the traffic laws, and stop at stop signs. And if you're on the running/biking trails...please give us runners a courteous heads up ("on your left") when you Lance Armstrong by. Sure running in the street (on the...

    Do New Balance make good running shoes?

    As a few others have said...go to a running store and have them analyze your stride. Most of these stores can videotape you on a treadmill...and set you up with the correct shoe. I have a pair of NB 767 as an extra set of running shoes. Decent I suppose. I'm a Mizuno man. Either the Wave...

    Having a married life without having kids

    Ugh. As an adoptive parent to a beautiful Korean daughter and an equally beautiful Vietnamese son...I've grown tired of this question. Exactly how many of these parentless children have you personally adopted? Every child deserves a family...regardless of birth country. To the original...

    Why doesn't Angelina Jolie have her own babies instead of adopting?

    Well...outside of the original poster's "thoughts"...I'm very impressed with this thread. My wife and I are adoptive parents. We have a beautiful nearly 4 year old daughter from Korea and we're in the process of adopting a 3 year old little boy from Vietnam. Yes we looked into domestic...

    The woman and I are looking at houses yet again

    Love old houses as well...live in a 1924 bungalow. Damn straight they're built better. If this house has been well-maintained and updated...what a steal. 15 bucks a square foot...you've got to be kidding me!

    Any Springsteen Fans Here?

    Oh I know plenty of folks that love the full band stuff...but hate the solo. Not me...love 'em both. And Nebraska certainly qualifies for a desert island disc.

    small (2.8) earthquake in oklahoma

    That's it...I'm taking my 8 posts and blowing this joint. :) Yeah it is weird. I'm probably off on the 50-100 quakes a year...but most occur sw of OKC. There's some mountains (yes mountains) near there...Wichita Mountains I believe. Really quite beautiful and seriously out of place.

    small (2.8) earthquake in oklahoma

    I'm in OK...but too far away from the epicenter of this one to feel anything. I was reading an OU forum a few mintues ago...several posters that live in the Norman area felt the small quake. OK has around 50-100 earthquakes a year.

    Does/Did anyone here work third shift?

    Like FoBoT...I work rotating shift work (for the past 17 years). Probably the worse...no check that...the worse shift work you can do. 5-7 day shifts...2.days off...5-7 evening shifts...2-3 days off...then 7 graveyards. Only nice thing is the graveyards end on Thursday morning and I don't have...

    Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies

    This thread cracks me up. We have a snack table at work...and the Little Debbie Cream Pies are always the first to go. I swear they're infused with crack cocaine or some other addictive substance.

    Which coffee maker to get?

    Call me a coffee snob...but I recently bought a French press and I'll never go back to a coffee maker again. Alas...you still have to heat the water on the stove. Before that...I had the same Krups for over 10 years. Good coffeemaker.
