I ran the Austin Marathon this past Sunday. Over the years the local marathon has gone from the Motorola Marathon to the Freescale Marathon to the Livestrong Marathon and now it's back to the Freescale Marathon. I've done other marathons around the country and the Austin one is pretty challenging. Austin is hillier than you would think. It's still one of my favorites since the route covers most of the city.
It was my 9th Austin Marathon and my 19th overall. It wasn't my fastest but the good news is that it wasn't my slowest. My goal is to run at least one Austin Marathon every year until February, 2018. I'll be 60 then. After that, I guess we'll see if there will be any more in my future. giggle...
