A beautiful evening in Austin, TX with temps about 62 degrees. We ran at McNeil HS track and for the first 6 miles we shared the track with the high school track team. Then Jill had us move over on the softball field to do our drills and workout.
For the workout we ran 10K pace for 300M and then push it hard for the last 100M. We did this repeat for 3 miles. A nice workout. Karen F left in the middle of the workout with an upset stomach.
The Austin AT&T Marathon is this weekend so lots of the runners were getting ready for the big one here in Austin. | | Comments(2) |

Ran after work at Brushy Creek. Temp in the low 50's with a breeze. I got creative and ran an assortment of routes and on a trail I had never run before. A relaxing fun evening. By the time I was doing the last 2 miles it was getting dark and the moon and stars were out.
A fun run. | | Add Comment |

| A beautiful evening in Austin, TX. Temps in the mid 50's. Ran again at Brushy Creek. Bill S couldn't make it so in the middle of our 10 mile run we stopped and I led the drills and got everyone running the workout. Karen F and I ran lots of trails and had a great run. The last 2 or 3 miles were under the moon and stars making shadows on the trail from the overhead trees, fun. | | Add Comment |
