After running a 10K race the night before and then getting very little sleep, we were up at the crack of dawn to drive to New Braunfels and run the Stars & Stripes Half Marathon and 5K/10K at the Stars & Stripes Drive in Theatre. Eric was running the 5K, which started at 7:15. I…

The Scallywompus Midsummer Night’s Dream Women’s Run 5K, 10K and 2-person 10K Relay made a huge comeback this summer! …and it was well worth the wait. It had been years since I’d donned my light up fairy wings and matching tutu for this fun event and I was more than ready! 🧚 McAllister Park was…

This year I was torn. The SARR Women’s Run (in San Antonio) was held on the same morning as the iRun Texas Too Hot (in Boerne.) Both are awesome mid-summer racing events and having to choose between the two was NOT an easy decision to make. I chose to run the Texas Too Hot 15K…

I had signed up for this race (as a 10K) a few years ago but ended up volunteering instead due to a badly strained calf the day before. This time around, I was ready to finally take on this very challenging race. Although instead of running the 10K distance, I got in way over my…

The Fourth of July landed on a Thursday this year. The week prior, I had run the Firecracker 5K in San Marcos, Texas, which happens to be a Thursday night race. So, that’s back-to-back Thursday races (and even my birthday) all in one week! 🥳 We had gotten an early start for an Independence Day…

Race 3 of the Edragon SA 5K Summer Series was my 10th race for the month of June! It had been a busy running month for me as I had run in 7 cities and 3 states and 4 of those races were half marathons so I decided to close out the month with an…

The weekend before the Fourth of July, Bigfoot Running Company held the Red White and Blue Half Marathon at McKinney Falls State Park in Austin, Texas. There were also 2, 4 and 8 mile distances but I was there for the half. The last time I raced at McKinney Falls, I camped there overnight. I…

The Firecracker 5K is a fun weekday race. Hosted by San Marcos Parks & Recreation, Athlete’s Guild and For the Love of Go, this race is held on the Thursday before 4th of July each year. 🧨 It’s an evening race that takes place at Five Mile Dam Park in San Marcos, Texas. It’s not…

Edragon Productions has a reputation for having tough courses (and AWESOME race swag) and the Texas Tough 5K, 10K and 10 Miler definitely proves that. Helotes, Texas is known for its Hills. It’s often referred to (in the running community) as HILL-otes, so it’s the PERFECT LOCATION for a Tough Texas Race. 🤨 And guess…

After running Beards vs Beans’ The Longest Day 10K (see previous blog post, part 1) we participated in the next race from this same event, the 0.5K Beer Run. Have you ever Run For Beer? 🍺 It’s a lot of fun! And you don’t even have to drink. In fact, I had to go to…
