In fact, on most days I\'d rather set fire to my indoor recumbent bike and use the flame to cook a roast and potatoes than use it to pump up my heart rate. But since the odds of healthfulness are stacked against little Okie me, I try to combine working out with fun and excitement as often as possible. You know what they say - a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down, blah blah blah.\r\n\r\nThe way I most enjoy to marry moving and fun is to sign up for Oklahoma 5Ks, 10Ks and, most recently, a half marathon. Our state plays host to several marathons and triathlons, too, all of them favorites amongst our surprisingly large, active and tightly knit runner\'s crowd here in Tulsa.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a list of races taking place in our neck of the woods over the next couple of months. All you have to do is pick a race, click the appropriate buttons and get yourself registered - there are even a few races in which the kids and our furry dog friends can get involved.\r\n\r\nThen, check the bottom of this post for resources on training and more info on, by registering to run, exactly what you\'ve gotten yourself into (read: a smaller, sexier pair of pants).\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[adrotate banner=\"8\"]</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>January Races</h2>\r\n<strong>Whole Person Indoor Triathlon</strong>\r\nWhen: Jan. 29-30\r\nWhere: <a href=\"http://www.mabeecenter.com/\">Oral Roberts University</a>, Kenneth H.

But, not all of it is T.J. Rocks Tulsa-approved, and that T.J. seal of approval is what you\'re looking for in a quality, live, local music experience. Because, well, T.J. said so, and everyone listens to him because he knows how to rock. \r\n\r\nHere are a few shows coming up this weekend that have earned the official T.J. thumbs-up.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[adrotate banner=\"8\"]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Nobunny - Reverb (5528 E. 11th St)</h3>\r\nWhen: Friday night, Feb. 18\r\nA national act playing great lo-fi garage rock whilst in a bunny costume. It\'s not as gimmicky as it sounds, either. The band has released records on labels Third Man (Jack White/White Stripes) and Goner Records (Jay Reatard/King Khan). If any of those names ring a bell, then A) you are awesome and B) you need to get to Reverb. It is the year of the rabbit, after all. Three fantastic and fricking rocking local bands - La Panther Happens/The Dull Drums/Lizard Police - open.\r\n\r\n<h3>Broken Social Scene - <a href=\"http://www.cainsballroom.com/\">Cains Ballroom</a></h3>\r\nWhen: Sunday, Feb. 20\r\nIf you were excited that Arcade Fire won Best Album at the Grammys Sunday night, chances are you\'ll want to catch Broken Social Scene at Cains. This group, from Canada like Arcade Fire, came on to the indie scene at about the same time, and their sound has often followed the same course. Best described as BIG (the band sometimes has as many as 19 members) Baroque Pop.\r\n\r\n<h3>Swans - <a href=\"http://www.myspace.com/themarquee\">The Marquee</a></h3>\r\nWhen: Sunday, Feb. 20\r\nIf even Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene are too \"mainstream\" for you, then you\'ll certainly want to check out Swans. Thanks to Jeff Richardson (Hardwork Records), Tulsa is <em>lucky</em> to have this influential post-punk/no-wave band make a rare stop in town. Swans, initially active 1982-1997, reformed last year to create \"My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky,\" one of my favorite albums of 2010. Of their live show, I only know what I read on Wikipedia, which is this: \"One of the trademarks of Swans\' early period was playing at painfully loud volumes during concerts, to the point where some audience members would vomit or the police would stop the show.\" Now <em>that</em> sounds like rock-n-roll (or, an episode of South Park - either way, <em>yes</em>).\r\n\r\nEnjoy!\r\n\r\n<em><a href=\"http://www.myspace.com/nobunnylovesyou\">NoBunny photo from NoBunny on Myspace</a></em>','Where to Find Live Music in Tulsa This Weekend: TJ Rocks Tulsa','Live music in Tulsa this weekend: There\'s plenty of it to go around.

Falling asleep on a bare table is just bad manners, no matter how good the burger is.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-6045\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2011/02/brady-tavern-burger-love/dsc_1837-2/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6045\" title=\"Brady Tavern Downtown Tulsa\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/DSC_18372-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Brady Tavern Downtown Tulsa\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nI\'ll admit, I had mixed feelings about this restaurant opening as it was happening, and it wasn\'t because I had doubts about what it could become. It\'s hard, after all, to argue with something that <a href=\"http://www.mcnellies.com/\">the McNellie\'s Group</a> gets behind - it\'s pretty well documented in local lore that those people know a thing or two about food.\r\n\r\nBut the reason Brady Tavern opened where and when it did is because <a href=\"http://tulsafood.com/dinner/downtown-tulsa-lolas-at-the-bowery\">Lola\'s at the Bowery</a> shut its doors just weeks before the folks at McNellie\'s flipped it. The fare went from Spanish-style tapas to gourmet, chef-driven pub food.\r\n\r\nHere\'s what I\'ll say about Lola\'s: I liked the food. It lacked consistency, but more often than not, I was happy. I especially enjoyed the cakes, which were made in-house by Lola (not her real name, but since everyone else does, let\'s go with it). I\'ll always remember the huge <a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/3837459927/\">orange-chocolate ganache cake</a> my pal <a href=\"http://twitter.com/hwall\">Holly Wall</a> and I once bought, split and ate until all that were left were crumbs in just a matter of a couple of days.\r\n\r\nAnd then there was the miniature wedding cake Lola brought to my husband and I at our table when we were in celebrating the baby we knew we\'d have the following week. We didn\'t even order it; we told her what why we\'d come in, and she brought it to us. I loved that.\r\n\r\nBut when I began to hear reports of slow and discourteous service, I worried. When I experienced it myself, I was downright sad.\r\n\r\nIf anyone could take that space and run with it, though, it\'d be Elliot Nelson and his group. The folks in charge there have come a long way since they opened the doors to McNellie\'s Public House, up the road in the Blue Dome District at 1st and Elgin. When <a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/10/mcnellies-group-moves-into-brady-district/\">I talked to Elliot late last year about how they drew up with the concept for Brady Tavern</a> and the excitements and challenges of moving into the Brady Arts District, he mentioned that since they\'d gone into the restaurant business, he and his partners had grown into their love for good food.\r\n\r\nI like to think of it like this: It\'s like McNellie\'s grew up, had a couple of kids, bought an SUV and a membership at a local CSA. Which, in the time since the opening of McNellie\'s in 2004 until now, is probably exactly what several of those folks did.\r\n\r\nSo, back to the burger. It\'s good. It\'s like the cousin of the burger at McNellie\'s - the cousin that went to Harvard and would drink a $20 glass of Cabernet with a Hot Pocket.\r\n\r\nAnd then there\'s this.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-6046\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2011/02/brady-tavern-burger-love/dsc_1841-2/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6046\" title=\"Brady Tavern Downtown Tulsa\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/DSC_18411-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Brady Tavern Downtown Tulsa\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nMac and cheese. Or, as I should say, mac cooked just al dente and a variety of classy cheeses. And perfectly toasted bread crumbs.\r\n\r\nAnd, again, enough to eat and then pack a to-go box. And then eat again in the car with your fingers on the way home so that no one suspects that you could ever eat that much in a million years.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-6047\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2011/02/brady-tavern-burger-love/dsc_1854/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6047\" title=\"Brady Tavern Downtown Tulsa\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/DSC_18541-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Brady Tavern Downtown Tulsa\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nWhich was the image I was trying to portray when I visited Brady Tavern with a group of guys just as classy as my mac and cheese. I\'m really glad I played it safe, too, because as I found out later, <a href=\"http://www.tulsaworld.com/scene/article.aspx?subjectID=274&articleID=20110127_457_WK9_CUTLIN983935\">someone was watching</a>.\r\n\r\nAfter all, it\'s not every day the far left side of a girl\'s face gets featured on the restaurant page in the Tulsa World. Or <a href=\"http://www.tulsaworld.com/scene/article.aspx?subjectid=274&amp;articleid=20110202_371_0_Natash189547\">her appetite for chain restaurant roast beef just a few days later</a> in the same paper.\r\n\r\nI feel so famous. I mean, parts of my face feel famous. And my love of paper-thin beef isn\'t feeling too shabby, either.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-6048\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2011/02/brady-tavern-burger-love/dsc_1843-3/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6048\" title=\"Brady Tavern Downtown Tulsa\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/DSC_18432-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Brady Tavern Downtown Tulsa\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nOther things I\'m digging about Brady Tavern:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>They kept the bar from Lola\'s, which is original to the Fox Hotel building in which Brady Tavern is now housed, and the bartender came up with pre-prohibition era-inspired cocktails. Cool.</li>\r\n	<li>Cooler: Brady Tavern offers seating at what\'s called a chef\'s table - basically, it\'s a chance to sit smack dab in the center of the craziness of a restaurant kitchen. These are getting to be pretty common along the coasts and in the bigger cities here in the U.S., but this is the first I\'ve heard of one in Tulsa. There are two at BT, and each sits 6-8. <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/jvergara\">My friend Jenny</a> had the pleasure of dining at one recently and had nothing but good things to say - which means a lot, coming from her.</li>\r\n	<li>The chef at Brady Tavern is Grant Vespasian. I became a fan of his when he worked under <a href=\"http://palacetulsa.com/\">James Shrader at Palace Cafe</a>, another of my favorite Tulsa chefs. Plus, I like saying Vespasian. Vespasian, Vespasian, Vespasian. Yes.</li>\r\n	<li>The folks at Brady Tavern bring bangers over from <a href=\"http://www.fasslerhall.com/\">Fassler Hall</a> to whip up some bangers and mash, with truffled potatoes and Irish whiskey gravy. I kid you not. And we all know that <a href=\"http://www.fasslerhall.com/\">I\'m a fan of Fassler Hall</a>. I mean, it\'s hard to argue with a good wiener.</li>\r\n	<li>Brady Tavern now offers a brunch service on Sundays from 10am-2pm. And I know how much you Tulsans love your brunch. We\'re a brunch-loving city if there ever was one.</li>\r\n	<li><a href=\"http://www.bradytavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Tavern_Dinner_02-18-113.pdf\">Bacon popcorn is on the appetizers menu</a>. And then there\'s <a href=\"http://www.bradytavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Brady_cocktailwine.pdf\">a bacon-infused old-fashioned on the cocktails menu</a>. It\'s OK, I\'ll wait while you mop your brains off your keyboards. My mind exploded when I realized this, too.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nBut you might not want to bother until you comb through these:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><a href=\"http://www.bradytavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Tavern_Lunch_01_21_11.pdf\">Here\'s the lunch menu</a>.</li>\r\n	<li><a href=\"http://www.bradytavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Tavern_Dinner_02-18-113.pdf\">Here\'s the dinner menu</a>.</li>\r\n	<li><a href=\"http://www.bradytavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Brady_cocktailwine.pdf\">Here\'s the cocktail menu</a>.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nHave you been to Brady Tavern? What\'d you have? What\'d you like? What didn\'t you like? If you had the burger, let me know if you think it deserves a spot on the list of Tulsa\'s bests.\r\n\r\nIf you hated it, well, you can slide it on down the bar to me.
