I did it! My First RUN CLUB social in Austin Texas (start time 6:30 AM Friday Mornings @ FLEET DT Seaholm District)

I've commenced physically RUNNING, walking, jogging for Exercise. I'm in my 6th week of running 2x,3x,4x per week for about 3.5-5 miles each trip in duration. I've also abstained from eating any fast food or red meat. So far I'm down in GVM LBS from a high of 248-249 pounds and this morning was 237 pounds. My goal is perhaps 210 or 225 pounds?

So this was my actual 1st every social ATX Run Club attempt. It starts every Friday morning AM at 6:30 am @ the FLEET running store in the Downtown Austin, Texas Seaholm District.

Since I live in St. Elmo SoCo, I almost missed my alarm, but popped up at 5:59 am, got on my clothes, gear, watch, running shorts, t-shirt, hat, etc and drove my Moped Downtown. Although very few cars are on the Road at 6 am, the red stoplights still slow you down.

At 6:30 am the FLEET store hosts called it, "the Chillest ATX Run Club in Austin." Go at your own pace.

Perfect for me! Then the 45-60 people begin running at 6:40 am from the store and head for the Town Lake Trail and the westward Deep Eddy Loop. It's about 5K or 3.7 Miles. I started out towards the front of the pack, yet eventually needed to sprinkle in some walking so I did finish, in the back half portion of the Run Club participants. Anyways It was fun! I'll do it again.

When everybody ends up back @ FLEET in the Seaholm District, most of the RUN CLUB participants stroll over to MERIT Coffee for a cup of coffee and post-run conversations.

Austin, Texas has a DOG PROBLEM.....

Austin, Texas has a DOG problem (Letter I wrote and sent) Dear Austin City Council Members, Hello and well regards, Yesterday afternoon during a simple bicycle pedal exercise ride, I was physically chased by an unleashed Pitbull dog in ZILKER PARK. Then directly after recovering from almost being mauled by an unleashed pit-bull in Zilker Park, I attempted to buy a Gatorade at a nearby Barton Springs Road Market, but that didn't go well either, as an interior Market commercial customer had a massive mixed breed dog trolling through the diminutive shopping isles. Then this morning, at a Coffee shop on SoCo, there was only 1 entry way in and out, and there was another large, although more docile mixed breed dog. All of this has occurred in less than 24 hours. What's the point? The City of Austin's dog friendliness and citizen enabling of irresponsible dog owners has gotten out of control. Newsflash! Not everybody like dogs, being everywhere all the time. especially within ...

Bonnie Fish McGee's Spooky 1st Birthday Party! Oct. 19th, 2024. Good times.

I got up early and went = ESPN's Live College Football Gameday Show @ University of Texas - Austin Fall 2024

I awoke circa 5:30 am this past Saturday, took a shower, grabbed a quick bite to eat and coffee@ QT; then rode my moped down to the University of Texas, South Lawn or "6-pack" area to view the LIVE ESPN taping and broadcast show, COLLEGE GAMEDAY. When I arrived on campus at 6 am it was still dark and there were plenty of fans already there. The actual LIVE College Gameday Show started at 8 am Central Time. We as fans are simply backdrop visuals and noise for the show. There were tons of fans signs, almost too many to even read. All of the On-Air TV Talent was friendly and excellent! Desmond Howard, Lee Corso, Pat McAfee, Kirk Herbstreet, and Nick Saban. Pat McAfee is the "get the home crowd revved up" talent, which is needed for the live show. Overall it was quite entertaining and free to attend. It'll get your Saturday juiced up. https://promo.espn.com/collegegameday/
