Got Guts?

Over the weekend I went to Austin to run in the Got Guts 5K, which benefited celiac disease awareness. Conveniently, one of my best friends and ex-roommate Carmen now lives in Austin so I got to stay with her. Also, she ran the race with me which made it a lot more fun.

This was an interesting race because it was almost completely run on grass. I’ve never done an off-road race before, and I wasn’t expecting it. I didn’t like it at first, but by the end of the race I was used to it. Also, all the food provided was gluten-free. I tried some of it, and there were some cookies that I really liked! I brought home a whole lot of gluten-free snacks to give to the people I know that have celiac disease.

Other running updates:
>I still really want to run the Texas Independence Relay, but my team is up in the air.
>I’ve been following a marathon training schedule and it’s going really well.
>I’m going to join a gym soon because my schedule is making it difficult to get to the park at safe times.
>The next race I’m signed up for is the Tabor Homecoming 5K on October 20.

    HEY! Where are all your links? Now I’ll have to undergo the laborious task of actually typing in the URLs myself. Grr.
