Austin 3M Half Marathon

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

Sunday (1-25-09) my company (All Web Leads) sponsored the annual Austin 3M half marathon.

My wife Laura and I went along to take a few pics and videos. We ended up helping out a bit with passing out the water to the runners as they came across the line.

With ~5,000 running from all over the world registered, it was pretty crazy as you can imagine. I wrote a full post up on it on our new unofficial company blog here:
Insurance Quotes News (unofficial because I just threw it together without anyone agreeing lol)

but here are some of the highlights

These are the top 3 wheelchair racers after they finished. #1 was Brad Ray from New Mexico with a time of 53.04 (the sleeveless guy in the back). It was crazy watching those guys coming over the hill with how hard they were pumping and how fast they were moving.


All the way from Ireland, Martin Fagan broke the men’s record by 11 sec running a 1:01:05.

I also have these guys on video below in action. Of course I plugged the videos with our sponsoring company details ;)

And here are some shots of our crew:

2009 Happenings – Meetup – Pubcon

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Hope everyone had some great time off, and those hard core got a lot of work done over the holidays!

Our meetup group SEO Austin will not be meeting this month. We know how busy everyone is (just as we are) in starting heavy on 2009 goals and catching up after the holidays. The next meetup will be the first Wed of Feb which is Feb 4th. I don’t believe Laura has announced a topic yet but that hasn’t stopped people form already RSVPing!

…and on the topic of meetups and conferences, we have a big one coming to Austin:

A reminder to most and notice to few, Pubcon will be in Austin next. I know many Austinites that are very excited about this. It’s March 11th through the 13th and if you miss it, you’ll can always go to the next one in England this summer ;) . Of course since they’re all different with different speakers feel free to go to both.
