John H. Saxon Jr. Memorial Park

You may have noticed something happening on the South side of highway 9 just East of the USPS training center. It appears as though someone has plowed a big trail through the brush and trees out there.  Turns out that the City of Norman is working on a new park, John H. Saxon Jr. Memorial Park.  This park is going to be a big deal.

Google's satellites had not noticed this change yet, so I took to the trails during my lunch break to find out what exactly was going on over there.  I parked suspiciously at the end of John Saxon Blvd, which dead-ends into a dirt access road leading in the general direction of the activity.  The park is located about a third of a mile East, behind a metal walk-through gate, surrounded by a barbed wire fence.  Just beyond the gate lay a cinder gravel track, as wide as a single lane road.

As a runner in the city of Norman, I seek out the softer surfaces like dirt trails and non-paved paths like these.  I don't believe we have enough of this in our fair city so I was happy to see it.  I ran the entire system as it is now.  I would descibe it as a 1.3 mile outer loop encompassing various interconnections which could be used to create loops of different lengths.  All are the same quality wide cinder trail, mostly flat with a few smaller hills.  It is about 40% wooded and 60% open grassland.

My GPS data, I tried to hit all possible trails

The city has already done a lot of work where the trail is concerned.  They have added several culverts over the stream that meanders through the property.  There is some minimal trail errosion from the recent rain, but I'm sure they will make adjustments to the drainage to prevent that as it becomes apparent.

Researching the proposed park on the City of Norman's website, I found the park proposal here:

I will say that the City should do a little better job advertising work like this, even a sign along highway 9 would probably suffice, because this is going to be a major asset to the area and things like this make me very happy to live here.  The proposal shows that official park entrance will be off 36th Avenue, not the access road I traversed.  The stream will become a small lake, there will be pavilions, playgrounds, fitness stations with commercial quality outdoor equipment (I read that as pull up bars and things along those lines).  It looks like another paved loop will be created to the south of the loops I ran but there is nothing there yet.  In short, this is going to be a great family friendly destination for a nice weekend day.

This is exactly the kind of thing I want to see Norman doing.  It's a good addition to the standard city parks that are scattered about Norman, and very complementary to the slightly more technical and wild Sutton Wilderness.  I would love for Norman to somehow connect everything now.  We have pieces here and there, and even some non-road interconnectivity like the Legacy Trail system along the central corridor.  I imagine a future where you could pack your bag with running shoes and frisbees, take off on Saturday morning on your bike, hit all the trails and parks and frisbee golf parks in Norman, refuel along the way at waterstops, and do it all with minimal road travel.

2011 NCAAFB Rankings - Week 1

As usual, the first week looks pretty strange to the computer, there's not much to compare, and the data that is there is usually skewed because many teams blow out cupcakes at the beginning of the season, while others (LSU and Oregon this week) have tough games. The results will even out as more data is available.

Mozy, I am angry with you...

I've been using Mozy for backup services for a while now. I've been pretty happy with them, however, I just received an email which says they are jacking prices up, in my case to about 14 bucks a month (from $5.00). That's not okay. This will be my last month with Mozy, anyone know any good alternatives?

2010 NCAA Football Rankings, Week 14

Conference championships are over and all that's left if BCS bowls (and a million other bowls including the new Pinstripe Bowl in the new Yankees stadium because we didn't have enough bowls already). Results look pretty much how you think they should look, the one glaring thing to note here is the slight, ever so slight, edge that TCU has over Oregon which would put them in my national championship game instead of Oregon. The thing I take away from all of this is, TCU might be better than Oregon or Auburn, but we'll never know unless they get the chance to prove it on the field via a playoff. We'll just have to imagine this year I guess. But enough BCS bashing, here you go.

BabyJogger FIT Review

Here's my quick and dirty review of the BabyJogger FIT running stroller.

I received the stroller packed tight in a box from my local running store, OK Runner. I was surprised at the size of the box, expecting something much larger. So was the guy working at the store who joked about how long it was going to take me to set it up.

Assembly

When I got home, I opened the box and there were 4 parts inside: the stroller, and 3 wheels. It turns out that assembly was super simple, just unfold the stroller and pop the wheels on. The wheels are quick release, so they just snap into the axel and can be removed for transportation or storage. The stroller itself folds up remarkably well by just lifting a strap under where your baby sits.

Usage (Runner's perspective)

There is some adjustment I had to make running with a stroller. You must hold onto the stoller (obviously) so your arms don't swing naturally, which left me a little sore after a while. eventually I moved to pushing with one hand and swinging the other, which was a little better.

The stroller itself is very smooth. I was initially concerned with turning since the lead wheel is fixed, but it turns pretty easily (though sharp turns require minimal effort to lift the lead wheel up). Another nice feature which I initially thought silly: breaks. Running downhill means you have to pull back on the stoller to prevent your kid from careening down the hill ahead of you and crashing into the bushes or something. However, with the FIT, just apply some break and there's no need to alter your form to accommodate the stroller.

I am able to run as far with the stroller as without. There doesn't seem to be any (or at least very much) extra effort to push this thing, even with a 25 pound baby (not included). I generally use it for shorter runs, under 5 miles. The BabyJogger is extremely smooth, something I didn't feel with some of the cheaper alternatives.

Usage (Baby's perspective)

I'm not a baby, how wold I know? I'd ask the kiddo but he's more interested in leaves waving at strangers. Actually, I can tell he rather enjoys the run, even though he hates being in strollers. I think the extra fast stoller excites his inner speed demon. He doesn't like me pushing down the cover, because he's worried he can't see me and perhaps that I've left him rolling down a hill alone. But other than that, he's comfortable, and happy to ride as long as I'm willing to push him.

Conclusion

So the BabyJogger FIT is awesome. Smooth riding, no impedance to distance or pace, baby likes it. The only cons are a hefty price tag, but you get what you pay for.

2010 NCAA Football Rankings, Week 13

The final regular game of the season is in the books! Next week we have conference championships and then we're on to bowl season. A lot of big things happened this weekend! Boise lost to Nevada, who moved up to #8 in these rankings, a little high IMHO. LSU and Alabama are on the way down losing to their SEC rivals. And of course, OU beat OSU in on hell of a bedlam game.

The big difference here is obviously TCU at the #2 spot which would pit them against Auburn (if they win their conference game) in the national championship game. BCS, mostly thanks to human voters unwilling to give credence to a weaker MW schedule, still have Oregon in the #2 spot (I *think* I agree with this).

So not too happy with Nevada, Northern Illinois, and Hawaii's spot in this ranking, but that probably just means some adjustment is needed to the SoS algorithm.

2010 NCAA Football Rankings, Week 10

Looks like an interesting week in college football. Les Miles managed to luck out (I'm guessing, didn't watch) a win against Alabama, and Texas A&M managed to beat OU. I did watch that game, unfortunately. So we have some interesting results this week, Auburn takes the #1 spot and surprise, surprise, TCU in the #2 spot after a dominating performance against Utah.

Realistically, I think TCU is in the national championship game if Auburn loses (they still have a SEC championship game coming up), or Oregon loses, but I don't think that's happening, unless Oregon State can pull off a win. Most likely the BCS committee (or whatever it is, it's a secret or something) that decides where teams #3 and beyond land, will pit Boise St. and TCU against each other, again, instead of giving them a chance against a BCS team.

There's a real good chance of having 4 dominate teams undefeated at the end of the season, which is a recipe for more BCS controversy because we'll all be wondering if TCU or Boise could have beaten the national champ this year. Anyway, standings below:
