I try not to write about things in advance, because when I read about cool things too far in advance, I say, “oh, that’s cool, I want to do it” and promptly forget about it. BUT there are some exceptions: when you have to buy a ticket/race entry, or when I’m super-excited about something, or…

Free Taco Run! Saturday morning
FREE Saturday TACO RUN! It takes a lot to get me out of bed before 8 am. Ever. But on a Saturday? Damn near impossible. But IF I’m going to run 7 or 10 miles, running it with a group might be the way to go. So I suggest Rogue’s Free Taco Run. The scoop:…
Sunday’s Gluten Clash
Presuming Ike doesn’t cancel everything–and that’s a big presumption, since the UT-Arkansas game is already off (though this hoopla continues to amaze me … there’s only a 60% chance of rain tomorrow?!)– this Sunday looks to be a huge Gluten Clash, pitting the gluten-free Got Guts 5K vs. gluten-heavy Italian Festival: Got Guts 5K Run,…
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
I’m sure you’re curious about things to do tonight, Tuesday. But Tuesdays are not for events. Except the Nike Human Race training run at Guero’s, which is an awesome event. Free tacos and drinks and friends and running routes, what more could you ask for?! Well, perhaps an online community of runners? Daily Mile is…
Thirsty Thursdays – Runs, Events, & More
As the first Thursday of the month often goes, this one is jam-packed with things to do. Behold: The Moonlight Margarita Run has only been around 4 years and has already turned into one of Austin’s most infamous running events. The Town Lake Trail Foundation hosts the 5K, with an 8pm start time, as a…
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…
