Great Hills

This morning was the kickoff to our team training season.  We ran 4 miles through the Great Hills area of Austin starting at the Texas Running Company, who then put on a great gear clinic for the team.  We both ended up with new shoes and clothing, so I guess their clinic accomplished what it needed to!!!!

The morning started out very inspirational with a quick testimony from one of our teammates that is currently battling leukemia and training for a marathon!  He was diagnosed in August and is doing phenomenal with a drug that Team in Training basically funded.  Very exciting!

Our 4 mile run was a perfect workout for where we are in training.  The hills were a nice challenge, but suprisingly not overwhelming.  It was kind of a bummer not having Casey's new Garmin 305 GPS watch, which will be here sometime this week, but running with a group was extremely helpful.  Looking forward to tomorrow's cross training day!
