The Snowball Run, Walk, Roll or Stroll 5K & 1K is a December race that supports and celebrates inclusion and accessibility. We made this a family event and brought Erickson with us since he’s grown up running this race. On race morning, it was very cold so we waited in the car to stay warm….

Another Holiday Favorite of ours is the SARR Santa Antonio 5K, 1-Miler & Kids Elf Run.🎅🏼 It’s a super-fun December race where hundreds of runners get dressed up in Santa Suits and go for a run. This event used to take place at Sunset Station in downtown San Antonio. At that time it was presented…

The Run In Texas Spicewood Vineyards Half Marathon, 5K & 10k is one of my favorite December races. I’ve run it several times and I always look forward to the scenic (yet challenging) course with its amazing views of the Texas Hill Country. Fun Fact: This is also the venue for the Austin Wicked Wine…

This December, Rock’n’Roll San Antonio held its last event. The city of San Antonio has parted ways with the Rock’n’Roll Running Series and I think it’s been long overdue. Even the race expo had lost its appeal over the years. They’re much smaller than they used to be and with fewer vendors. However I feel…

We are THAT family. The one that wakes up early on Thanksgiving morning to run a Turkey Trot together. 😜 That’s right. For 10 years now, it has been our Thanksgiving Holiday Family Tradition. We’ve been running the SARR Turkey Trot 4-Miler since 2014. There are LOTS of local Turkey Trots but we have been…

This was a first-time run for Eric and me. The Shiner Beer Run, held in November at the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas had been on my bucket list for a while but it’s about a 2-hour drive from our house which has always kept me from planning for this one. Now I only wish…

We are a Military family and the Ranger Creek Veterans Day 5K Beer Run is an absolute favorite Fun Run of ours. This event is held at Ranger Creek Brewing & Distilling in San Antonio. We look forward to running this Fun Scallywompus Event each year with family and friends. ❤️ There’s also always a…

My first race after our Japan Runcation was the New Braunfels Half Marathon, presented by Edragon Productions. We watched the sun rise during our early morning drive to New Braunfels, Texas. This race was held at the Stars & Stripes Drive-in Theater and it was a first time race for us, however it’s the same…

The Mount Minoo 5K Trail Run was our 7th and final race in our Vacation Races Global Adventure Japan Runcation. 🇯🇵 For 6 straight days we had been not just racing but also sightseeing all over Japan. Thankfully this final race for our Runcation was the shortest distance. We were ONLY running a 5K. This…

The Nara Deer Park 7.6K Run was the 6th race on our Vacation Races Global Adventures, Japan. 🇯🇵 As we arrived in Nara, we headed to our start line and we quickly spotted a Nara Deer, the first of MANY! There was a warning sign which made me a little uneasy but for the most…
