hiking and 5k's around Austin

Hi Austin folks! I am trying to hike at least once each weekend if anyone in this group would ever want to go. I tend to stay within 45 miles of the Austin area and usually do anywhere between 3-7 miles depending on the trail. I still have about 25 pounds to lose so it isn't like I am speed hiking when I go. 
But it is nice being outside and having a change of scenery.
Also, I did my first 5K this morning and while I walked it in just over an hour, I was pretty near the back as most everyone else ran it. I was still glad to participate but if anyone is ever interested in walking a 5k verses running it and wants a buddy to go with you let me know! I am usually free on weekends.
I am in S. Austin if it matters.

I wish MFP would send notices when there's a new post on a thread.
Anyway, I live in North Austin but I've been recruiting friends to walk with me. I tend to walk around this area but I would love the opportunity to get out and explore. I'm about 20 pounds from my goal weight and I need to get more active. My job keeps me sitting down all day and I'm trying to find ways to be more active. Feel free to add me! 0 -
