Inaugural Austin 10/20

I made the trek down to Austin today for the Austin 10/20 race. Austin is about a 3.5 hour drive from Dallas, but I had my trusty cheering squad with me make the time pass quicker (Mom, Dad, and weenie Eddie).

We spent the day enjoying the sights of Austin, and by sights, I really mean freaks! I definitely understand the "keep Austin weird" bumper stickers now.

We ended up at the Aloft hotel this afternoon, my parents and Eddie are staying there, and there was a big race pre-party. We weren't officially a part of it, but the photographer took Eddie's picture! There was a guy that came in with a camera crew-he was African, and will probably win the race. The going joke between he group is that he agreed to carry me on his back tomorrow, so we will finish #1 and #2! We carbo loaded at Maggiano's tonight; I had eggplant Parmesan... I'll let you know if that was a bad decision in the morning!

The weather has been a challenge today and I am worried about what tomorrow will bring. The wind has been blowing at 20+ mph and there is a 50% chance of rain in the morning. If there is lightening and thunder, I won't be running.
