Hey Gang!

An Austin Land update hot off the press!!

I recently ran in the Bismarck/Kroll's Marathon as part of a relay team last Saturday (Sept. 15th). Our team took 2nd of 4 male teams and 3rd overall out of 102 teams! All 5 members of the top 3 teams in each division got a sweet zip-up jacket. So that was a nice bonus! I ran the 4th leg (out of 5) for our team. This was a 5-mile distance, including having to go up the massively long University of Mary hill. Good thing I got to come back down after the battle upwards. I clocked my time in at 37 mins, 5 secs, a 7:25 per mile pace. Not bad for running only a few times in the last 2 months and having just freshly recovered from injuring my back 2 weeks ago. If you don't believe me, here's the link of the full standings on Bismarck Tribune website:

In other news, I'm still working my 2 jobs. At NISC in Mandan and at SuperValu picking orders in the warehouse. Its a struggle, as I just worked 11 days in a row, but I continue to push through. I've applied for 2 positions recently and hope to hear back from them soon! I'll keep you all updated on those!

Living with Michael is going well. We don't see each other very often, but we should make some progress on painting the house this weekend if things work out weather-wise and such.

Hope all is well in Prentice Land!

Love,
Austin
