Hello!  I'm planning a long run starting tonight from the Alamo in San Antonio to the Capitol building in Austin.  It will be self-supported, using stores/restaurants along the way.  My route will for the most part follow I-35 or parallel to it.  Remains to be seen just how challenging it will be to run along the access road.
