Just 1 2 Finish

3 in 43 days makes you a Marathon Maniac. Bronze entry level only. 8 more levels here for the truly maniacal.

Trifecta complete. I’m done for the year. 4:29:54. I snuck in under the wire again. Beat last week’s time by 5 secs!

I snuck in at 4:29:59! Sweet medal with UT Tower, State Capitol, and Stevie Ray Vaughn - all Austin icons. Autographs on bib from USA Track Olympians Trey Hardee (decathalon) and Leo Manzano (1500m).

Austin’s food truck scene is big. Even at the finish line. My $4 spinach and mushroom empanada easily beat the free bagel and banana.

4:30! Running to Willie at the start and Stevie Ray at the finish. Classic Austin.

Pasta Caspian from Magnolia Cafe. Texas ‘cue will have to wait.

Austin expo with Olympian and UT-ex Leo Manzano

Carbo loading has commenced. Moonshine green chile mac.

Houston 2012 and Cowtown 2011 - working for the bling thing. Also Joan Samuelson’s autograph just left of my name.
