Heard Around the Lake...I made the gossip column!

Very cool! Jennifer and I made Wish's 'Heard Around the Lake' column for RunTex. I never thought I would make the column. Here's our blurb...

The AT&T Austin Marathon has been over and done with for a month now, but the important results—the King or Queen of the Pacers—has finally arrived. And the winners of the pace team competition are (pause for trumpet blare)… five-hour pace group leaders Sadie Barrs and Jennifer Limbaugh. In the fiendishly convoluted scoring system devised by Danny Spoonts, grand poombah of the pacers, Sadie and Jennifer finished closest to their pace goal through all the checkpoints (or something; I can’t figure it out) to win. Kate McLaughlin was second with the 4:15 group and the dynamic duo of Paul Terranova and Scott McIntyre, who headed the three-hour group, finished third. Actually, each one of the 28 pacers who selflessly sacrificed their marathons to pace other runners, wins in my book. Thanks to Danny and his crew.

Unfortunately, our friend Dan Schellenberg got slighted, as he was Kate's pace partner for the 4:15 group. We still love you, Dan-O!
