Interesting Run
I finally got out of the door this morning for an early run with Mike. We “kept it easy,” because I hadn’t run since last Friday (almost two weeks), and ran from Barton Springs up Scenic to 35th, then over to Exposition and back. Total distance was about 9 1/2 miles, at an average running pace of around 9:45. My legs were complaining by the end of the day, but my cardio settled down after a few miles and the whole run seemed remarkably uneventful. In fact, both Scenic and Exposition went by without either of us really noticing the hills, which was unusual enough to cause comment.
Running in the early morning light made me really want to take a minute to enjoy some of the images I was seeing. I didn’t, of course, because I was running, but it did make me decide to go out and start taking more pictures. A lot more pictures. There are some beautiful parts of Austin that I run through each month, and some fascinating (if not picturesque) images to be shared. And, of course, this being the 21st century, I’ll start sharing them with y’all as well. I’m going to be focusing much more on the pictures themselves than any particular technology, and I think you’ll enjoy the results.

you are going to make me miss Austin more than I already do if you start posting photos. I miss the hills and the landscapes and the weather. And Mangia pizza. :)

Glad to see you running again, Richard! If you can throw down a 9.5 mi hilly run like that, then you must be doing fine. Just make sure you’re ready for the 10K now. :)
