Football, Running and Flavor Day

It is that time of year again, Longhorn football season!
This weekend Texas opened up their season by slightly beating (52 to 10) Florida Atlantic University. I went to a friend's tailgate with Bailey and Kreuzer and then watched the game from Maggie Maes, which ended up being a good place to be, $2 beers, free BBQ, big screens, not too bad. It was nice to be back in burnt orange... Sunday, I changed into bright red for Nike's Human Race, a world wide run benefitting 3 non profit organization. A group of YMCA staff members headed out to be part of this 10k run, in support of the Lance Armstrong Foundation. While I've walked a 10k before, this is the first time I attempted to run one. The course was tough (lots of hills), so I still walked about 2 miles, but ran the rest. I came in 3,968th out of the Austin female runners with a time just under an hour and a half...hey, at least it's a starting place! A few of my coworkers and I stayed to enjoy the Ben Harper concert and some delicious food at the Nike Pavillion. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday evening.

Monday, I invited a few people over to the house for a backyard BBQ. We enjoyed some yummy chicken and veggie kabobs, sides and desserts. Thanks to Bailey, Labor Day will now officially be called Flavor Day, just one more holiday that's all about eating. Amber, Chuck and Rora came over as well. I forgot to take pictures, so you'll just have to check out thier blog for pictures of how cute 'Rora is these days...

Now, off to start a new week!
