Hold the presses

I can see where the trails are an asset to being able to run and catch up to the parade.  The mayor must be using them as she was able to catch the billion dollar band wagon leading the parade for that stinking, river contaminating refinery, that a week ago everyone wanted removed.

200 jobs paying $30.00 per hour?   1,000 construction jobs?

I see in the TV clips where the children have gotten into the river tax by asking the votes to do it for them.

First of all, I go on exercise kicks every now and then.   They always end with strep throat, or an abscess, or some other infection.  I'm convinced exercising causes me to get sick.

That said, in one of my running phases I spent a lot of time running on wooded trails.  Oxley, Turkey Mountain, Red Bud, Keystone...  you get tons more workout because you are not able to keep a steady stride which becomes comfortable and easy to maintain for your body.  Terrain, hills, logs, rocks all cause you to break stride.  I found I would feel just as tired in half the time AND the scenery was better than crowded trails.

So long as you wore hiking boots (added to work out I suppose) and watched your ankles it worked out really well for me.

I need to start working out aga... who am I kidding.  Its football season.  See you on my couch, I'll be the one with a beer in my hand.

I'm more into running for enjoyment, I don't like to run thru fields, woods, or streets with cars. Just give me a jogging trail and I'm happy. I have been running since 1980 and became very addicted to the sport. Fort Worth, Texas has a great jog/bike trail the Trinity Trail, it runs 20 miles along the banks of the Trinity River the trail is full of wild life and wild flowers and is a super place to run. Gwen Freeman the talk show girl on 1170 KFAQ is against the  River tax.

Believe me. If Gwen or Shadows lived in Ft Worth they would be against the development of the Trinity River that you love. Its their personality, its their business to be against things.

That's intresting. When I was last in Tulsa  I tryed to find that jogging trail on the west bank and I could not find it.... Tulsa should build a trail along the full west bank of the river not just small or short sections with no connections to other trails. thanx.

Here's a link to the INCOG webpage that has maps of the trail system:

Thanks for the post & link. That trail picture looks like the SandSprings jogging trail. Tulsa is Lookin' good!!!! I would like to see them build the RiverSide Trail farther south a few more miles past 101st street, and build a complete trail on the west bank of the river that runs from Jenks north to Downtown. That would really be great![]

Heh, love the bingo.  Reminds me of Yogi Berra:
