San Antonio Half Marathon 2006...
This was the first race in our Half Marathon series this year. Houston half and Austin half are in Jan. and Feb. We were all pleased with our performances and had a great time together. All the gals (Diane, Lisa, Sharon, Darcy) started out early Saturday a.m., Starbucks in hand, on a beautiful drive --with perfect weather (65-70 degrees)-- from Houston to San Antonio. Lots of uninterrupted girl chatter and a stack of magazines made the drive feel like a quick cab ride across town. (Wait, that may have actually been Diane's driving).

When we reached San Antonio, we grabbed our Race Packets and shopped the sports vendors for goodies. 
We enjoyed a stroll back along the riverwalk before heading over to the hotel to get ready for dinner. Dinner reservations were at Budros (yum) in celebration of Diane's 29th Birthday (wink wink). A little carb loading and we were all ready for PJ's and a movie in our hotel rooms.
Race morning. Crisp and clear morning. A tiny bit chilly at first, but perfect once we all hit the pavement. This year, the race started at the Alamo and traveled past a couple of missions and into the Alamodome for the finish. Very nice views along the route. It was tough, especially when we all split up, but everyone had a good, strong race with excellent time.
