Sorry everyone if you showed up Wednesday and didn't see me there. I was in Austin this week for some amazing training for work, and when I say amazing I mean the incredibly boring kind of amazing.
However, while I was here I went to
http://www.runnersworld.com/ and looked up Austin Texas off their "where to run"
subtab. They had a couple sweet places to run around here and I picked the shortest route which was still 6 miles and got a couple guys together from my training group and we went and ran around the river here in Austin.
(above: where we started the run, Barton Springs Pool)
It was amazing and I loved it so much I almost wet myself at least 3 times in the first 2 miles. The trails were made of
finely crushed granite (very good for running) and ran along the river with lots of trees and shade and there were people everywhere, oh man it was golden. Austin is a really amazing town. I would recommend everyone go to
BYU for college, but if you don't get in try to go to UT because this town is so sweet! (Above: The next day I cruised down this street on my bike at 35+mph in the bike lane and was passing cars, so super sweet. But I digress)
Running is so much fun, but it wasn't always that way. It used to stink pretty big time and I couldn't run more than 1/2 a mile before I thought I was going to spew blood. But I kept at it a little at a time and now I really really enjoy my runs. So much so, that I get mad when I start to get tired because I want to just keep running. Crazy? Who you calling crazy? I'm not crazy, I'm a runner!
