Huge Weekend
I’m exhausting just thinking about this weekend, and it hasn’t even started yet! Apparently Austin does Labor Day big. The highlight: Sunday night’s Nike Human Race. 6:30pm, a million people across the world will be running a 10K. In Austin, our course is a tough one–lots of hills–but pretty, through downtown, campus, the capitol area.…
Another Thursday, Another Plethora of Events
Good thing I have that fence to paint (it’s never done. You finish building the sucker and you just have to paint it) or I’d never be able to decide which of these events to go to! That and I’d go to the LAST Nike training run at SIX lounge before the big run this…
Training Run + Daily Mile

Report: Nike Human Race Training Run
So last night I finally made it to Guero’s for the Nike Human Race training run! It was packed in the Guero’s annex, and the line was long to register. They say the run starts at 7:00, but we didn’t get going til 7:15 or so. I should preface the story I’m about to tell…
Tuesdays? + a full Wednesday
Last Tuesday, I ran into a friend and frequent reader of this blog at Bikram Yoga Davenport (love it!) and she asked what was going on that night. “A Tuesday night? I don’t know, I’m at yoga!” Aside from Bikram Yoga classes and the Nike Human Race training run at Guero’s (can’t wait to check that…
