Best Run in Austin Texas, Barton Springs

I spent this week in Austin.  I run Town Lake (Lady Bird Lake) downtown just about every week.  This week, for the first time, I started 3 of my runs at Barton Springs Pool.  Nirvana. 

27 million gallons of fresh spring water flow out form the pool daily at 68 degrees.  The pool is 1,000 feet long, clear, cool, and refreshing.  It’s also just ½ a mile from the main lake running loop.  So, when you run 8 mile hard and hot around the lake, you can look forward to enjoying this unique Austin experience.  It’s also free until 9 am.  If you are in Austin, don’t miss this experience.
