We decided to run with the best bunz in town at the 30th Schlotzsky’s Bun Run benefiting the Austin Sunshine Camps for our fourth 5K of the spring. We ran this race last year and it is a pretty flat course with a fast field of runners (plenty of people to try to chase down). [...]

I scoured the Run Tex Calendar for a our third 5K and saw the Master’s School 5K in San Marcos. This year was their first year putting on a 5K benefiting their school and I thought it would be nice to go out and show our support at a smaller race. We woke up early [...]

On the top of everyone’s list of 5Ks to do again this year was the Blue Bell Fun run. I love the fact that it benefits the Brenham high school athletic department but I think the real appeal is the FREE ice cream. The difference this year would be that I would be running the [...]

I started the Spring racing season fat and sassy, which also happened last year. This always makes me nervous because I know the more I weigh the slower I am. That coupled with the fact that I had done no speedwork leading into this race promised me that I would not be coming anywhere close [...]

This caused a lot of drama and anxiety as I tried to book something [...]

My family and I ran the EGA Boo Run again this year. This is a fun event for a good cause. The run benefits the Exceptional Georgetown Alliance. Proceeds help fund therapeutic camps for school-age children with cognitive and developmental disabilities. We got there just in time for the kids to participate in the [...]

I am finally getting around to writing up a race report on the Zilker Relays. One of my running buddies that I met on Daily Mile asked me to be part of her and her husband’s relay team. It sounded like a lot of fun so of course I said “yes”. She knew I was [...]

For almost a year now I have felt out of sorts and thought I might never get back to where I was before the Missoula Marathon, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, shin splints, etc. But in the weeks before the RNR San Diego half marathon I started to feel like my old self and was running [...]

Third 5K in 3 weeks and fifth race for me this Spring. I never race this often but my husband and kids have been enjoying the races so I have just gone along for the ride. Honestly after running the Cap 10K and realizing I was much slower than last Spring I did not want [...]
