This one was fun and different. To celebrate Karen H's birthday we did a 5:00 AM run from Karen F's home in Austin. Tom met us there and a new guy named Mike (from Dallas) met us too. So the 5 of us took off from Karen's home and did the run through the streets of west Austin down to the Town Lake Trail and then up through town back to Karen's home. A nice run and we pushed it just hard enough that I felt it the rest of the day while at work.
A great way to start the day. This weekend will be a killer. 7.5 miles on the greenbelt to the Hill of Life, then 8 to 10 HOL, then 7.5 miles back down the greenbelt to Barton Springs Pool. Temps will approach 100 degrees by the time we get done. I'm going to get some salt tablets and electrolyte replacement pills to prevent swelling of the fingers and feet. |
