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…

The Longest Day 10K, 5K and 0.5K, presented by Beards vs, Beans is a fun and meaningful event that hits close to home for many of us. This was a 2 part event for Eric and me as we ran the 10K, and followed it with the always fun, 0.5K Beer Run (part 2.) Beards…

The Relay Race formerly known as “Carrabba’s,” was renamed this year. SARR, in collaboration with Edragon Productions brought us the inaugural SARR Texas Sun Showdown Half Marathon, Relay and 5K. This wonderful collaboration took place at McAllister Park in Northeast San Antonio (just as it did when it was Carrabba’s.) However there were a couple…

I first ran the Dos Rios 5K Splash & Dash back in 2021 and it was such a fun and unique race experience. The PERFECT South Texas Summer 5K. 🌞 With just a 30 minute drive from our house, we got to witness a gorgeous sunrise on our way to New Braunfels. We arrived at…
