Capitol 10K and training fun

Wow what a busy month! Today Calvin and I ran the largest 10K in Texas, the Capitol 10K in beautiful downtown Austin. It was packed, a huge number of people and weird ones!

We saw a crazy fun bunch from HeB all dressed up as fruits, veggies, a cornucopia, and a bunch of people dressed like bananas. There were a couple dressed up as Manning and Tebow in football uniforms (those pads must chafe), and the guy dressed as a banana pushing his dog in a wheelchair. A group of people were wearing flesh toned unitards and looked naked! They were keepin' it weird here in Austin.

I loved all the unofficial bands playing on front porches of homes, the street corners, parking lots, and the back of a truck. How about the unofficial cold beer station? They were right across the street from the cops, gotta love Austin.

We finished the race in our best time yet, despite the fact that Calvin hasn't run in over 6 months! He's gonna be sore tomorrow :)

Training is going well, especially the swimming, which is something I was concerned about.

And another surprise, look who just signed up for the Austin 10/20!
