Back in One Piece

Costa Rica is a beautiful country filled with friendly citizens. They don't even mind Americans. However, no matter where I travel, towards the end of the trip there's only one place I long to be - home. I'm glad to be back.

Humbling Moments

After participating in a 43 mile ride on Saturday, I honored a promise and ran the Capitol 10k the following morning. To add to the "Keep Austin Weird" theme, I ran in my flannel pajamas and pimp hat. Humbling moments during the run:

1. While ascendinging a hill, I was passed by a man pushing not one, but two of his children in a carriage.


2. I was beaten by a 200+ lb. man running in a terry cloth bathrobe.


3. My mile average was TWICE of what it was when I was a high school senior.

My ego may never recover.
