Austin Livestrong is the third half marathon in this crazy adventure. From the get-go i had a great feeling about this half marathon. I did the full last year and i had a great time. I am not sure if its because i live here and i know the course or i felt better trained, but it was an easy race.

The Expo was great, lots of vendors and lots of other possible races to sign up/look forward to! The Route 66 in Tulsa seems a like a strong future possibility.  We did a crazy thing at the expo, signed up for another half just one week after the Austin Marathon - Rock and Roll New Orleans here we come!



The Morning of the race was a chilling 40 degree! oh why, oh why are Austin's races so cold?? But the good thing is that it help me stay cool throughout the race! The course was easy, just a couple mile long hills, lots of spectators. I guess knowing that you are running for a cause helps a lot!

What was really neat about this race- was able to run along side the Austin Front Runners, the GLBT running community here in Austin. Lots of friends on the course and spectating keeps you motivated and helps you run faster.

Third Race is done! with an awesome time. I'll be doing this race again next year but i am thinking the Full is in my future! Btw the Medals are freaking cool! i love Austin :-)

Now i am getting ready for my next race this upcoming weekend! - peace!
