Halloween

So we had our first Halloween this past weekend, pumpkin carving, family, friends, candy, but no trick-or-treaters!

I did find a great belt for my sister Jennifer, check out the video below. The belt has a flat head, philips head and bottle opener on it! It should come in handy at the tailgates.



We also took a trip out to Santa Fe, NM for our friends Andy and Jean (now Stewart)'s wedding. They were married in the Loretta Chapel, which is a very beautiful church, and houses the miraculous staircase!

While in Santa Fe we participated in a group run Saturday Morning. We ran from our hotel and meet up with everybody about 1.6 miles away. We then took off to run a 5 mile run with the group. 7.5 miles later we started our run home from the
meeting spot. It was a very tough run at 7,000 feet of elevation over a very hilly run. It is a local runners staple and proved to be a real eye-bulging leg burner!


The next couple of weeks will be base training for the Austin Half Marathon. Turkey day is around the corner so we will be running the Sugar Land Turkey Trot.

2025 Otillo Austin Sprint SwimRun - Team Just Carry Me

  Back in May Chloe and I decided to take on the Otillo Austin Sprint Distance Swimrun event. I was able to talk her into it by showing her the cliff jump first. Nevermind the 2 hours of running and swimming required. She has had a good couple years of running, and was one a neighborhood championship meet qualifier for the 10 & under 25 yard breaststroke, so she will be fine. I also made the decision it was time to really try to become a better swimmer. Its less impact on my lower body and I always like to mix up my racing and training to become a better overall athlete. A swimrun was going to push my swim boundaries to the max. Barton Sprints Over the last few months we have been able to connect in Houston and Austin for some tethered swims. Each swim taught us something new. How to make a tether, where to place it for the swim, where to place it for the run, it can come untied or unclipped and how to just have fun. I even decided to customize our race wetsuits with PVC patch ...
