Held at the Ranger Creek Brewstillery in San Antonio, Texas, the Ranger Creek Veterans Day 5K Beer Run is a lot of fun. 🇺🇸 Being a military family, we have…

Another Scallywompus race! …because they’re always so awesome. 😎 The Battle of Leon Creek 21K was my 65th race and 22nd half marathon for 2023. It was also the 4th race in the Alamo Beer Challenge series. Eric joined me for the event and ran the 5K but there’s also a 10 and a 20…

This is my 2nd year running the Gruene 10K in New Braunfels, TX. This race takes place right in front of the Historic Gruene Hall, Texas’ oldest (built in 1878) continually operating and most famous Dance Hall. I had just run an 8-mile Zoo Run the night before so this was my second race in…

I love “Running for Wine!” 🍷 The SARR Labor Day Whine Run is one of those wine runs that I looked forward to each year. There’s both a 5K & a 5-Miler distance to choose from and it’s always a great time afterwards with food and wine at the finish! This event moved to Tuscany…
