So today's Team Rogue long run started at Northwest Park, and it made a big loop around North-central Austin through some hills on Balcones and finishing with a much flatter second half. Overall I had a good run physically but suffered mentally. I kept a much faster pace than usual averaging around 10:18 with several miles at sub-10, and nothing major hurt during the run. But, I ran the entire 21 miles by myself. My usual group started a little earlier, and it was a little daunting knowing that I wouldn't see anyone I knew until the finish. I guess I let it get the best of me.
Mostly about running and other odds and ends.

About Me
- Andrea
- I'm a former software engineer and stay at home mom (for now). My son keeps me pretty busy but I have a few hobbies to help me fill the rest of my time (and make it so my house isn't near as clean as I'd like). I started running in 2003 in order to keep off weight that I lost a couple years earlier. I've run 7 marathons and dabbled in triathlons (doing one half ironman). My last marathon season left me injured, and while I continued to workout most days still I ended up finding a new hobby to keep me busy while I recovered - baking and cake decorating. I'm back to running again, but I still love to be in the kitchen cooking and baking.
