Austin half marathon
I'm doing the Austin Half Marathon tomorrow! I'm not sure what my "race" strategy will be. I imagine with all the energy and people, I will run more than I expect. I've been doing some great walking distances lately, but only two non-race workouts where I actually ran this year.
The race is the last one I need to do to complete the Distance Challenge (half version), so that will be great! It really hasn't been a big focus, though. It's the third of three half marathons in the series. As an example of how seriously I'm taking the race? I just realized 20 minutes ago that all my running shoes are locked up in my office at work. Guess I'll have to stop by work before heading out to race. :)
I stopped by the marathon expo today, Jack and Adams and Hill Country Running Company. I bought some clearance 2012 model Mizuno shorts. I love running in tri shorts, but none of the available ones seem to have a pocket big enough for a cellphone like my Zoot tri shorts. Even looking on the zoot site, I don't see any tri shorts available. So weird. I did find some Mizuno shorts with zipper pockets plenty big enough for a cellphone. Sweet!
