I'm back from Austin where I ran a marathon last Sunday. Considering all the evil hills, it went okay. Who knew, the Texas Hill country really is very hilly!
My results follow. I felt fine at the half, but by mile 18 I was run/walking.
Marathons are so exciting. There are all the bands, the funny signs, and all the cheering people. I loved it. This is a great race.

At the expo, we got to hear Bart Yasso speak and were able to meet him afterwards. He seems like a nice down-to-earth guy. He reminded us of how lucky we are to be able to run...there are so many others who would if only they could.

I had a wonderful time with family in Austin. Sydney went to her 7th grade Valentine's Day dance. I learned how to play Chickenfoot (dominoes). I got to see my nephew's son play in a basketball game. I watched Alex and Sydney at tennis. And we played a bit of charades.
We went to the LBJ Presidential Library and Museum. I lived through those years and am now anxious to read an objective biography of LBJ's political life.
This is an oldie but still true:
