Keep Austin Weird

Simone and I went to the "Keep Austin Weird" 5k and festival today. We even took the boys. Lets just say I have not been working out much and the temperature was 103 degrees (the heat index was over 110 and the temperature on the asphalt was 130). Seriously, we are not exagerating. I think I almost died, but we both made it. (Simone first, of course). This was not your normal race. We were running with knights in armor, crossdressers, prom queens, hula-skirted frat boys and kids with kilts. Of course there were real runners. The winner came in at like 15:00. Crazy.

We were shocked at how hot we were and how much it sapped our energy. At one point, we thought, "it doesn't seem right that I'm cold right now." That's when we walked for a bit. We came in under 32 minutes - and we were pleased. I mean, it was DAMN hot. Now Simone's talking about doing a half marathon. I'm thinking about it.

Our friend Casey (who is training for a marathon like all our other friends), watched the kids in the festival area. He liked it. Aftewards we met Michael and Sarah to listen to some local bands who were amazing. Ya'll come down and we'll take ya!
