The SARR Women’s Run 10K, 5K & Girl Power Run is a popular midsummer “women only” race. It takes place in Alamo Heights, a beautiful, independent community located just north of downtown San Antonio. Eric joined me for support and to help with the event. He even brought his lawn chair for any downtime. The…
San Antonio 5K Summer Series 2026, Race 3
The third race in the Edragon San Antonio 5K Summer Series, held on Fourth of July weekend, made for a double race weekend for Eric and I. We had just completed the Flag Run 5K the day before in Boerne, TX. Each race in the series takes place at a different San Antonio Park and…
Flag Run 5K
The Flag Run 5K 4th of July race in Boerne, Texas was a first time race for Eric and me. Last 4th of July I ran the SARR Freedom Day Run and then hurried to work (in Boerne) right after the race only to see runners walking along Main Street with finisher medals. I found…
La Cerveza Run 5K
This was our first time running the La Cerveza Run 5K by Andiamo Race Productions. This fun, summer race took place at the end of June. As with most of their races, it was held at Mission County Park in South San Antonio. Andiamo was giving out some super-fun “Beer Goggles” which made selfies with…
San Antonio 5K Summer Series 2026, Race 2.
The second race in the Edragon San Antonio 5K Summer Series took place at McAllister Park (by the Dog Park.) Eric and I live less than 15 minutes from the park so we were actually able to sleep in a little before heading to the race. Once we arrived we made our rounds with the…
The Longest Day 0.5K Beer Run 2026 (Part 2)

The Longest Day 10K 2026 (Part 1)
The Beards Vs Beans, Longest Day 10K, 5K, 0.5K Beer Run & 0.5K Kids Run was another “two-fer” race day for several of us. This is always a super fun event and it supports a cause that’s very close to our hearts. 💜 This year’s event was held at Comanche Park in East San Antonio….
Chicago 13.1
I was fortunate enough to have run the Chicago Marathon back in 2022 so technically I’ve already run Illinois, however this is my first half marathon race in Illinois so I’m on the fence about this being a “repeat state” in my 50 states running journey. Either way, it was still another fun-filled Runcation with…
