Poop is Temporary. Pride is Forever.
I ran the Livestrong Austin Marathon & Half Marathon this past weekend. It was amaze-balls. Tons of hills, lots of people and good race swag. I may have earned my best medal to date. AND I got a PR of 1:55:40.
I remember running past a few funny race signs:
1. Poop is temporary. Pride is forever. (so true. reminds me of my poop story.) I fist-pumped the air as I exchanged a knowing glance with the guy holding the sign.
2. Worst Parade Ever
3. Faster. Harder. Don't Stop. That's what she said.
This was actually 4 separate signs held by 4 separate people standing next to each other. LOL.
I also saw a few funny things during the race:
1. Girl runner dressed up in a full red teletubbie costume.
2. Dude handing out water in a huge goldfish costume.
3. Yellow mile - not funny, just cool. Since the race was Livestrong sponspored (Lance Armstrong, cancer, etc.), mile 9 was the yellow mile for the cancer peeps. Tons of spectators on each side of the street, all in head-to-toe yellow outfits. Yellow everything. Yellow banners, yellow balloons, yellow signs and yellow men. Like the blue man group guys but in yellow. All cheering and high-fiving.

Urban Reserve
Went bike riding this morning. Today this blog is about things I saw while cycling. Me & Leet veered off the Cottonwood Trail and rode through the Urban Reserve - a neighborhood of modern, environmentally friendly homes. This excited my inner city planner. Very cool. I've included some pictures from our adventure. www.urbanreserve.net
