Wednesday, the 17th, found Brother Maverick in the northeastern part of the great state of Oklahoma. The recent arctic blast had brought snow and Mav couldn’t wait to get out and play in it. He made his way to Kaw Lake and was able to run about 7 miles in 2 inch deep virgin snow. The temp was about 27, but Mav was so excited to be there that it felt like spring.
The only time Mav ventured off the “path” was when a deer cut in front of him and he followed it for about a mile.
Mav has been running trails in new Pearl Izumi Syncroseek III’s and they stayed dry and his feet were warm the whole time. Maybe next time Mav is in Ponca City there will be a blizzard!
What does mav do for a living that allows him to run during the week while the rest of us are wasting away in front of computer screens and only dreaming of being outside running?
Mav works for the State of Oklahoma Department of Mines. He inspects sites and manages the permitting. He drives all over the place and as long as he gets his inspections done and his paperwork turned in, no one really cares where he is at any particular time.
