The Run This Mother event offered a Half Marathon distance this year! 😃 It’s usually a 5K, held at Mcallister Park (San Antonio, TX.) ALWAYS a great event! 💗 But this year it was moved to the Wheatley Heights Sports Complex and the half marathon course was a great one! 🤩 It was also an E-Dragon event so the Mother Runner swag was super SWEET! 💐

This wasn’t part of the swag, these were a very thoughtful gift from a sweet Mommy friend. 💝 But how PERFECT were they for this race?

So here’s a “Bad Mother Runner” pre-race collage with some of my fave runner moms. 💐

….and a start line selfie 🤳🏻 with Shannon!

The aid station volunteers were awesome and Scottydog was cheering on all the Ladies in his prettiest, most sparkly lady costume! 💖 He always makes us smile! 🥰

Mother Runners on the course 😎 Enjoying our special day!

A beautiful, scenic course! 🌳🏃🏻‍♀️💚 But the humidity was brutal. 🥵

It took several miles to catch up to these awesome ladies but once we did, we joined them for several more miles of interval running! 😍

We ran around Lions Park Lake and at one point, for maybe a minute, there was a slight breeze. The heat and humidity was starting to take its toll.

That last mile was rough! I even had to walk for a bit. I was feeling overheated and dizzy as I crossed the finish line. 🥵

Shannon and I both had to take a few minutes to rest and we weren’t feeling too good. We hydrated and fueled along the way but we still may have ended up a little dehydrated. We were slow-moving due to muscle soreness and we were both feeling lightheaded and a bit dizzy.

Another Mother’s Day morning spent running with friends. 💝 So thankful to Courtney for brining the “tailgate party” with cold refreshments and frozen lavender towels to cool down with post race! 🙏🏻

We love these beautiful, super soft, Bonus Finisher shirts too!!! 💗

This was the first time running it without my monkey. Maybe he’ll join me again next year. 🥰 Great event tho. 💝
