    ******* RUNNERS

    If you were in Austin today and you tried to go anywhere, you know what I am on about. As Zach was heard to say "how do I go about not having a marathon in Austin?"

    Lone Wolf 2011 9 3rd overall. "GateKeeper"
    2013 North Texas Battles 3rd overall and tied for 3rd best sport.

    If that many people were interested in playing a Warhammer tournament, you wouldn't care, would you. It's not like it was a secret that the Austin Marathon was going down, was it?

    Does not change the fact that the roads were blocked totally cutting off traffic in all directions. Traffic should not be locked down totally in a city this size.

    Eh, they do it in Boston and New York... I don't think we have much of an excuse to complain. I knew about the marathon so I made sure to plan routes that would put me in conflict with them as little as possible.

    Guilty as charged. If it makes you feel any better, I'm more than paying for it today.

    Could put some filters in place. Old habits not dying and all that.

    I usually find that I have to ask them to stop running for a moment...

    Oh wait, this isn't an advice thread?
