A few weeks back, my old room-mate Joe O’Donnell was in town on business. Ever the marathoner, Joe encouraged me to join him for a trail run on the Barton Creek Greenbelt, and a couple days later at Walnut Creek (both favorite MTB destinations of mine).
Well, it’s cedar season, and for the first time I ended up with miserable flu-like conditions from these excursions. But I decided to keep up with the runnin’. Besides, it turns out that Molly really likes it, too.
Last week I finished the Mardi Gras 5k in 27:13 (8:46 miles). It was hilly and well supported and fun. I ended up 20th in my class (out of 30), which sucks, but I just started running again.
And now I want to get better.
I’ve signed up for the Spring Race Challenge – three 5ks and two 10ks – with a race every two weeks. If you’re in Austin and want to join, I’d love to have a running mate or three. Just hit me up.
